 Run
Comments: The goal for the first run was to settle in and allow HR to rise with pace, the first run has significance to the day- too hard, you will pay for it, go at a moderate effort, hold back some. This was a two lap run mostly on greenways. The first lap went well and I got settled in but then they started the short course runners and it got messy out there. As a long course athlete, I found this to be frustrating because it was more difficult to see who I was racing.  Transition 1
Comments: Bike rack fell over when another person remove their bike from the rack. This caused a short deiay.  Bike
Comments: This was my first time racing with a power meter. The goal was have average 3s power and cadence on screen option and shoot for Z3-4 numbers, 88-90rpm, but also pay attention to how you feel. My power was more or less in the right range but the VI was on the high side. I felt good for the first hour and for the last bit, I really started to feel it. Transition 2
Run
Comments: The second run went well, better than expected. The first lap was good but I started to get quite hot on the second lap. Post race
Event comments: This year’s event was good. I enjoyed the run in Brooks Park more than I did last year’s course. I though that last year’s event had a much better vibe to it though. I didn’t even see a table set up and hosted by USAT at the event which was disappointing. Profile Album Last updated: 2016-11-02 12:00 AM

Master 7712 Orlando | Subject: RE: Cary Long Course Duathlon Congratulations, sounds like a well executed race and good test of racing with a PM! I've been told duathlons are harder than tris. Do you find that to be true? |

I've been told duathlons are harder than tris. Do you find that to be true? I think that it's just knowing not to burn all your matches during run 1 and on the bike. |

Packet Pickup on Friday
I got up early (4:30) on Saturday morning to walk Zoe and load up my gear. I ate a bagel with peanut butter and had a banana. I was out the door at 5:15 or so and arrived at the race site, USA Baseball, before 5:45, inlcuding a stop at Starbucks just after they opened. The transition area opened at 5:30 (and closed at 6:45).
It was 74 and humid when I left the house -- hot for April!
Set up transition. Short, very run. dynamic warm up, strides. Last year, the advice was to do each leg at a z3/z4 effort.
