 Run
Comments: Didn't feel like I warmed up enough. 2nd mile not nearly as fast as the first (I always go out too fast). What would you do differently?: Warm up better and try to rein in the first mile a little better.  Transition 1
Comments: Just a wee bit slower than usual. Don't think I could've gone much faster. What would you do differently?: Nothing.  Bike
Comments: ABSOLUTELY THE FASTEST BIKE IN MY LIFE BY A LONG SHOT!!! I had the ride of a lifetime. Several scary moments when we got bunched up and kept leapfrogging each other, but I've never even come close to a 21.3 average in my life!. What would you do differently?: Try to remember what today felt like so I can do it again! Transition 2
Comments: Just a little slow. Pretty tired from that huge ride. What would you do differently?: Nothing. Run
Comments: That big bike leg just wiped me out. I could see the other Sharon maybe a minute behind me when I did the short out-and-back U-turn and just kept her image in my mind to keep pushing me to go harder, since she's the faster runner. I had to count on my arms to keep me pumping because my legs were just spent. What would you do differently?: Work on speed at the latter stages of training so I can still have something left in the tank for the second run. Post race
Warm down: Lots of walking around, drinking anything I could get my hands on. What limited your ability to perform faster: Speed in the second half. Event comments: This was not only the regional sprint duathlon championships (so my 2nd age group finish was a regional title), but also the final of the du series I've been in. I ended up winning my age group for the series. Got lots of cool stuff. A plaque, of course, plus sunglasses, a hand mixer, awesome duffle bag, Amino Vital, and some other stuff. All those toys may just have paid for my entry fee! Last updated: 2005-05-23 12:00 AM

 , Alabama |  Subject: About Family Fitness Duathlon Series FinaleMost of the people I talked with after the race said they had a great bike (perfect bike course...not a lot of corners, no U-turns and no breeze) and lousy runs (very hot and humid). I was in very good company today. What a great day. Sharon Edited by snikpos 2005-07-04 3:14 PM |

Master 2005 South Florida | Subject: RE: About Family Fitness Duathlon Series Finale Great to meet you Sharon~ you looked awesome out on the run (sorry I didn't get to see you bike). You just keep bringing home the hardware (and a mixer???) Perhaps I'll see you at the aquathon-I'm watching the tropics before I register. Again, super finish. See ya 'round. |

Elite 3201 South Florida | Subject: RE: About Family Fitness Duathlon Series Finale Congratulations - what a great race! Nice job on the bike, you must have been one of the people to go zooming by me puttering along I think I met you at the food table with Mimi (unless that was the other Sharon?) Maybe I will see you at some other races in the Fall - this was my first but I think I am planning on doing some more in the future. Good luck at the Aquathon. Amy |

Early wakeup call at 4:10. Bob and Richard volunteered so we had to be there at 5:30. Just as well...I like a lot of time to set up my transition. Stopped at Dunkin Donuts to get Richard a donut and Bob some coffee.
Light bike ride an hour before start. Light jogging later. Didn't really do much in the way of quick intervals.
