 Run
Comments: I would pace myself faster a little more on the first run. What would you do differently?: Train to run well on hills.  Transition 1
Comments: I had everything laid out on a pink towel so it was easy to find my area. Everything went smoothly.  Bike
Comments: I was soooo cold on the bike. My fingers were about to freeze off. I need to prepare better for colder weather next time. Overall, I did okay on this bike segment. I think I could have pushed a little harder. What would you do differently?: Push harder to go faster. Work on hill rides!!!!!! I was really slow(7-13 miles/hr). Transition 2
Run
Comments: The second run was harder. My legs felt like lead after the bike. It took a while to get used to running again. I had a hard time on the hills again but it was harder this time. What would you do differently?: Train on hills! Post race
Warm down: Ate a bagel and apple. Drank H20. Event comments: I like this race a lot b/c it's well-organized and not too big. I would do it with friends again next year. I was 29th out of 102 women in the race. That's not bad! Compared to last year, I took off about 7.5 minutes and went from #48(1:37:58) to #29. I did well! Last updated: 2004-09-24 12:00 AM

Pro 3705 Vestavia Hills | Subject: RE: Chateau Elan Duathlon Way to improve your time! Heard that this was a great race to do and had it on my racing calendar to do with my training partner, but then found out that it conflicted with a wedding I was in. Hopefully they will only do the wedding once and the race again ... BTW, my training partner mentioned that it was a hard race to dress for in that it was cold during the run and 1/2 of the ride, but then warmed up as he heated up. We train right close to you in the John's Creek/Peachtree Parkway area and belong to the John's Creek LA Fitness. Our bike route takes us past The Forum down to where Peachtree Parkway + PIB come together and then back up PIB to State Bridge Road/Pleasant Hill. If you're up for a group bike ride, let me know ... |

I got up around 5:15 and headed out of the house by 5:40. I got to the race site around 6:10 or so. Since I missed the online registration, I registered at the race site. No problem. I went to the bike transition area and realized that I had forgotten my helmet! Big mistake. So I went around like a chicken with its head cut off, asking ppl. if they had a spare. Finally, I decided to call my brother up and he agreed to bring me my helmet. It turned out that the guys at ALL3Sports had a couple of extra helmets on hand just in case for people like myself :). Anyway, I am glad that I was able to race! I also ran into two guys that take the spinning class with me at LA Fitness.
Nutrition: I had a bean pan (bread with sweet bean filling) and coffee on the drive up. Then at around 7:00, I had half of Cliffbar. I hydrated myself with diluted powerade. Boy, I had to use the bathroom a couple of times. Next time, I need to skip the coffee.
Ran around looking for a helmet. Turned out to be a good warm-up. Something good came out of this, at least.
