 Run
Comments: For me this was a good run. I did the first mile in 10 minutes, then obviously slowed down after that. Had to walk the hilly section. Once I start walking, that's it - I have to keep walking after that. What would you do differently?: Try to run the whole way and not walk.  Transition 1
What would you do differently?: I was tired and felt like puking after the run so I probably intentionally fiddled around with my shoes to get some rest.  Bike
Comments: Didn't check my watch for T1 split or bike split. I was in the fat tire division so I rode my mountain bike. Clipless pedals were great - I am glad I got some. Started out feeling pretty good but then slowed down. Typical. For the last two months or more I've been mainly running and had not done a ride. This felt like a good ride taking that into consideration. What would you do differently?: Pacing, pacing, pacing. Transition 2
Run
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster: The fact that I weigh 225. I probably overdressed. It was so warm I could have worn my bike jersey and cycling shorts. Event comments: This was an enjoyable race. Well organized, fun. Last updated: 2006-12-09 12:00 AM

I agree, a few of those hills on the run are tough! Thanks. I only signed up for this first one; I'm not sure yet if I'll do the other two. I am definitely looking at doing the summer duathlon series that's put on by this same group, racingunderground.com. |

Elite 3488 Lakewood, CO | Subject: RE: Chilly Cheeks Duathlon - Race 1 Way to get out and do it! Never run in Cherry Creek, only ridden, I bet some of those climbs could be a kick in the seat of the pants. |

Master 2249 Colorado | Subject: RE: Chilly Cheeks Duathlon - Race 1 Great job. I'm finding that the only way to get better is to get out there and do it. I sign up for the races in order to keep my training going. Glad you made it! |

Expert 963 | Subject: RE: Chilly Cheeks Duathlon - Race 1 Hey nice race Mike. I've always thought that if I felt like puking after a run, I really gave it all I had. Not that wanting to puke is all that enjoyable |

Champion 5345 Carlsbad, California | Subject: RE: Chilly Cheeks Duathlon - Race 1 Outstanding race  You definitely passed the "Puke Test" for the run. (It definitely means that you gave it your all) I agree that figuring out how to race in the cold is tough. It took me a while to figure it out and I really suffered in a few races. I hope you do more races in this series; They will surely be at least as fun as this. Good On Ya |

Light breakfast, load up car.
Not much at all. Still trying to figure out exactly how to "warm up" without exhausting myself.
