Flippin' humid and with the sun it was killer. BUT no cramping, tried to keep the pace reasonable but not crazy. I walked the one hill from trail to street and that kept the HR down.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked a lot. Water bottle, banana, gatorade and then I was good.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Freakin' hot and humid. But smart choices in spite of that.

Event comments:

Really nice local race by a local organization. Very well-run. Concern for safety was strong with lots of volunteers on course even on the run. And they sent someone out to sweep up the stuff farmers left on the road so it was alll very clean. I'll do this one regularly.

After doing duathlons for the last couple of years, I decided to go for a triathlon. Starting with an Olympic-distance race perhaps wasn't wise, but it was fun (of a sort).

My first duathlon was a success. I had so many fears before the race but none of those fears happened. And when it was all over, I felt I had accomplished something big.

"I was wondering if this is a sensible approach? Should I get "better" on short distance and then move to something longer or do what I want if I feel I can do it whatever the time?"
