 Run
Comments: Got to the start line, got up to the front, and we are off. The first run went fairly well, I think I only walked twice, and as some folks passed me I got a few 'keep going', that was good. I rarely saw the folks I was with after the start. You know drinking a water from the water station was harder then I thought it would be, kind of felt bad tossing the cup on the ground but the volunteers picked them all up.  Transition 1
Comments: Legs hurt  Bike
Comments: Got to the transition area for the bike change, changed shoes, my legs were lead, and I am off. I must have caught some 20 people on the bike part, including one of the ladies I was with (I did not even know she out ran me). One dude on a yellow Giant bike was on my tail the whole bike. As soon as I thought he was gone, boom, there he is again. We finished the bike together, but I did get into T2 before him :P. Got out of T2, to do the run (again, ugh [didn't we just do this?]). Transition 2
Comments: Got off the bike, put it on the rack, leg did not hurt near as much I Run
Comments: My second run was slower, had to walk I think three times, I ran with a few people a few times, then I would be dropped. In about the last mile I saw the one lady I had passed on the bike, so I pushed it to make sure she did not beat me :). One dude I had passed on the second run (he was having leg cramps), came by me with about 400 yards to go, I tried to go with him, but I faded again, I did run for the last 100 yards or so. Finished and got my wet towel (THAT was nice), had a nice meal at the buffee they had (you know they even had Coke, weird). During the second run I swore I would never do this again, but I am looking forward to the next one. Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster: Lack of tarining, and not my main sport. Event comments: Well run Last updated: 2005-05-08 12:00 AM

Expert 666 St. Thomas, ON | Subject: RE: Willow Duathlon OK. That is hilarious. The bit about the Giant in your race report sounded familiar. We really should all wear armbands or something |

Veteran 219 metro Detroit, MI | Subject: RE: Willow Duathlon trixie... and why are you called trixie? When do you meet next time? I do a lot of road bike racing, but I plan to do a few duals (no tris yet, my swimming sucks, and I do not want to embarrass myself  ). My running needs work. |

Expert 833 Adrian, MI | Subject: RE: Willow Duathlon Too bad we couldn't meet up! I was right near the starting line also... probably saw ya!! Great job, and the following is SO true, "During the second run I swore I would never do this again, but I am looking forward to the next one." BTW - Trix is a nickname. Don't be afraid of the water!! For most triathletes the swim is weakest event, so don't fret! Hope to see you at some races this summer! |

Veteran 219 metro Detroit, MI | Subject: RE: Willow Duathlon I love it, work, bed... trixie... Are you and your entourage doing the Nankin Mills Du on May 22? |

Expert 833 Adrian, MI | Subject: RE: Willow Duathlon I'm leaning toward doing Nankin. |

Veteran 219 metro Detroit, MI | Subject: RE: Willow Duathlon Nankin, is right after the Kensington road race (road bikes). So, I am also thinking of Nankin as I would not be as tired if the days were reversed. |

How did I do? My first multi sport event.
I was to meet some folks at one ladies house, but I got there late and missed them. So I drove to the park. Got there with about 90 to go. Got ready, put all my stuff in the transition area, went and picked up my number. Got marked by a very cute lady (why do they mark your age and number on you when you have a number pinned on?).
Kind of ran around a bit to warm up.
