Subject: RE: Slidell4Life's Group - CLOSED for TrainingWell, did my very first Duathlon this morning. I recently joined a local Tri club and this was their first event of the year. A bunch of really good people! It was a 2 mile run/ 12 mile Bike/ 2 mile run. First off, it was an absolute blast - at no time did I have the feeling that I was going to drown and that is awesome. I ended up finishing in 3rd place overall. My first 2 miles running were done in 12:47 (6:20ish pace ) - really didn't even know I had this type of time in me - it felt great. Also I averaged around 19 mph on the bike, which is faster than I have ever averaged before and then my final 2 mile run was 14:30 (7:15 pace ). I have been racing a lot so far this year and putting in some pretty heavy training weeks. This just goes to show that hard work and consistant training can lead to good results and I just wanted to share! |
