Run
Comments: I was elated to find out that the first run was a little under 8:00! I was exactly at 19:00 when I entered the transition area. But it went downhill from here... What would you do differently?: Nothing. Transition 1
Comments: Don't know exactly how long but I took my time here b/c I noticed that my rear brake was rubbing and I had to fix it. What would you do differently?: Good bike maintenance is key. Bike
Comments: It was a frustrating ride. When I got ready to mount the bike, I noticed that my chain was off the rings. I had to dismount and fix it. It didn't ake too long to do that but it was still annoying. Then I had to get off a couple of times to fix my rear brake. The rest of the ride was hilly and okay. After a while, my feet were getting toasty b/c I had double layers. What would you do differently?: Bike maintenance. Transition 2
Comments: Peeled off my windbreaker and a layer of socks. I wrote in my last year's RR to make sure to dress better for the cold weather b/c I nearly froze to death. This year is the opposite! Run
Comments: Didn't really push it as hard as the first run segment. I guess I just mentally gave up. What would you do differently?: Do my best. Post race
Warm down: Sat with my former TNT friends and also waited around for my brother to finish and take pics. It was his first duathlon and he did great! He really hasn't been running/biking so he was pretty nervous. What limited your ability to perform faster: Was disappointed that I didn't beat my time from last year but it was a last minute decision to do this race (night before) and I was not mentally ready. Also... I haven't been riding much. Oh well... it was fun though. Last updated: 2006-10-30 12:00 AM

Drove up with my brother to Chateau Elan. We missed the exit and had to turn around. We were already running late and I had yet to register so I was anxious. Set up transition area quickly and ran into couple of friends. Practically joined the waiting pack a few seconds before start.
Setting up transition and running to and fro porta potty.
