Total Time = 1h 15m 56s
Overall Rank = 127/368
Age Group = 40-44
Age Group Rank = 24/34

Pre-race routine:

We arrived well before the race start (90+ minutes) which gave us the chance to take our time at transition and to relax a little bit. The weather was cool at first, but once the sun came out, it started to warm up significantly.

Event warmup:

about 10 minutes total of jogging.

Run

14m 36s
2 miles
07m 18s min/mile

What would you do differently?:

Nothing. I think that the pace through the first part of the duathlon was right where I wanted to be.

Transition 1

01m 11s

Bike

35m 35s
12.4 miles
20.91 mile/hr

Comments:

During the 3rd lap, my aerobar loosened up and just kept getting worse. I rode low on my bars for a little bit, but it probably impacted me a little bit.

Transition 2

01m 46s

Comments:

Missed my spot the first time I came through.

What would you do differently?:

Need to bring my speed laces next time. Stopping to tie them took too much time.

Run

22m 49s
3.1 miles
07m 22s min/mile

Comments:

The run was good and I felt very comfortable with my pace/ time. I felt like I pushed myself sufficiently.

Event comments:

Overall a great race. Too bad about the water, but the organizers did a great job of putting on a good race in spite of this. Looking forward to my next race!
