 Run
Comments: The group went out FAST! I would say at least 3/4 of the group was out in sub 8 min mile pace. Geez. It was a nice reality check for me that I do this for fun, not glory. What would you do differently?: Nothing as far as the run itself is concerned. I probably could have pushed the tempo a bit more, but I wanted to make sure I would have something left over for the bike and second run. I didn't want to loose out.  Transition 1
Comments: I don't do that barefoot jog, hope to get your feet in the shoes while you are peddling thing. Just not me. What would you do differently?: I could really benefit from a second set of orthotics so I didn't have to change them with my shoes.  Bike
Comments: Clearly I need to spend more time on the bike. I just need to be faster and stronger on the bike period. What would you do differently?: see above Transition 2
Comments: for some reason this didn't register for me so I have no idea how long i was in for. Run
Comments: this time is also missing. This was a hard run. THe legs were having difficulty, and my left shoulder was very tight for the first mile. started to feel a little sick to my stomach during the run. What would you do differently?: Try to stride a bit more out of transition, because I think if I start off a bit faster I will be able to stride a little better. Post race
Warm down: walk, put a wet towel over my head, drink about 4 cups of water What limited your ability to perform faster: just not enough time in training. I need to build up my overall time training so that my aerobic is where it needs to be. Event comments: The bike course could use a bit of improvement, but they are talking about changing it, so it should just get better. 3Disciplies runs a nice race. The raffle prizes were nice. I will post some pics in a few days. Check out trixie's log - the woman placed 3rd in her age-group. Last updated: 2005-05-08 12:00 AM

Expert 833  Adrian, MI | Subject: RE: Willow Duathlon Yeah, I thought the wet towel was a nice touch! Don't fret about the spedsters during the first 5K. Many of these folks do strictly Du's. Your more rounded - your a TRI CHICK! You do know that your first 5K split is not far from your PR for a 5K right? THAT is some NICE STUFF. And remember... you will only get STRONGER as the season hums along... Thanks for helping me look for my glasses!! It meant a LOT. |

Woke up early, and yet later than I wanted to, so had to motor through the morning to make it on time. For those of you who know the area, I made it from East Lansing to New Boston (door to door) in 1:13. That's a fast drive. Ate coffee and a bannana on the way. one large water bottle. Got to the race, signed in. Met Fromer, Trixie and Czarjenny. And set up.
Short spin on the bike (probably about 1.5 miles) easy. Some stretching.
