Solid first 10k, comfortably uncomfortable after about 6 weeks of down time since IMWA

Solid first transition, no complaints here. Very well organized transition with good flow for all athletes

Mechanical issue on the front derailuer...couldn't get into the big ring. Not a terrible problem, but I could have been a little faster if I had my big ring on the "back" section of this out-and-back course as there was a nice tail wind on the return portion

It was a long transition area, but more or less as fast as it could be.

I gave it what I had at the time. I could have pushed more, run harder, but still not caught third place.
I did catch and pass the 4th place guy who passed me in the closing lap and a half of the bike. It was a small victory in Run #2, but when I saw the overall results I really realized how much 4th place sucks. I thought I was 5th or 6th before the official results came out.

Leave caution and non-training to the wind and just drop the hammer. This race was a "just for fun" at the end of my off season, so I am completely happy with the result. This was a fun and well organized race. And I haven't raced a duathlon in a couple years.

Light run and some stretching


It's always hot in Singapore, and it was the end of my off season, so very little training/maintenance since IMWA on December 5th
