  • Post race activities? Good
  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: First and foremost I cannot stand drafting. If someone is behind me they've all but signed a release form that allows me to spit, snot, and swerve all over the road. Beyond that Racing Underground has some super fun races. I'll be racing Tinman next weekend and intend to go hard at that race. I'll be using it to make sure everything is in order for Lake Stevens. I also want to use Tinman to figure out my wattage numbers, HR's, and nutrition. So I'm pretty excited about next weekend.

  • Comments: This was a great race aside from the rain at the start and the gale-force winds at the finish. I've done two duathlons before, but this was my first run-bike-run race. I liked the set-up and will deffinately do this one again. Oh, and no flat tire this time! YAHOO!!

  • Comments: This was my first duathlon and I really didn't know what to expect. I have run more than ever but have not spent the quality time on the bike. Early in the week I realized this. I believed I could do something in the around 1:42 and everything else would be Phil 4:13, "It is not I but Christ who lives within me". Both runs were faster than my previous PR of 22:30 (set in a sprint tri last year at about 300 ft above sea level) My bike time was about at my goal pace, but that goal was not set on anything done this year, but more on "I need this time to reach my 1:40 goal". I set the 1:40 goal, because that is what I thought I would need to win the over 40 Clydesdale category. I nailed the bike time and shattered the run times so I came in under the goal and won the Category. BT was well represented there today even though some were on "injured reserve" Praise God for this blessing today. I have a lot of work to get ready for the next race in the series.

  • Comments: Great early season DU. I won a pint glass and hung out with Richard and other Bters. BT did awesome today. Scott (peto primo) was 1st or 2nd Clyde. And KiloDave was 2nd in 35-39. Awesome day. Really can't believe I had such a good race!
