• Comments: Did not stay for post race activities due to prior commitments. Duathletes are FAST runners. In a typical triathlon, I rank worse in swim, better in bike and best in run. In a typical duathlon, I always rank worst in first run, better in 2nd run, but best in bike; and this race is no exception. I think I'm a better runner, but not against duathletes. Most of them can run sub5 on trails, I can run sub5, maybe one day on paved downhill surfaces, like Sporting Life 10K. I'm not such a good cyclist, but I came in 5th overall women on the bike today! Must be the disk wheel!! I've come to the conclusion I prefer duathlons over triathlons, at least until I get over the panic attacks during OWS. (PS - overall rank includes men, wish they'd sort it properly to be women only)
