84F / 29C
Sunny

Total Time = 1h 00m 7s
Overall Rank = 10/60
Age Group = 40-44
Age Group Rank = 2/10

Pre-race routine:

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.

Event warmup:

Light bike ride an hour before start. Light jogging later. Didn't really do much in the way of quick intervals.

Run

15m 5s
2 miles
07m 32s min/mile

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

00m 34s

Comments:

Just a wee bit slower than usual. Don't think I could've gone much faster.

What would you do differently?:

Nothing.

Bike

27m 27s
9.96 miles
21.77 mile/hr

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

00m 36s

Comments:

Just a little slow. Pretty tired from that huge ride.

What would you do differently?:

Nothing.

Run

16m 25s
2 miles
08m 13s min/mile

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!

Most 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.
