Thought I went out too fast. Calmed down and settled in to a nice pace. Started passing people. Enjoyed the first run. Felt weird doing a mass start.
What would you do differently?:

Trail shoes. Trails were slick

Good transition. 2nd in AG. It was just putting helmet, glasses on and running with bike.

Not much

Comments:

The Specialized Rockhopper with full off-road tires was a factor. Cross bikes were the hot set-up. Caught up to a group of about six people going in to the singletrack. No passing. Slowed way down. Never really got up to a good race speed. Don't know if the toe clips helped or hurt.
What would you do differently?:

Crossbike or rigid 29er with cross tires
Transition 2
  • 00m 30s
Comments:

Peeled off gloves and long sleeve jersey for the run. Good decision.

Comments:

Wasn't looking forward to the second run. This being my first duathlon. The hills hurt. I was able to get in to a good pace. Passed a few folks. Was surprised my pace was as fast as it was. Scary part on the course was a guy down. a group of people were around him giving him CPR. Still don't know how he is.
What would you do differently?:

Be ten ponds lighter
Post race
Warm down:

yoga/stretching. Drank some Recoverite.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Hate to blame the bike, but it was a disadvantage.

Event comments:

It was a fun and challenging race. The volunteers were great. Lots of cowbells.
