My race photos don't suck for once!
Vicious thunderstorms delayed race start 90 min and turned into a duathlon. My thoughts on the matter: Nooooooo!!!!! Don't make me do my least favorite leg twice! New strategy: go balls out on the first run and hang on as long as you can.
Run 1 [19:01] KILLED IT. So proud! Hope I didn't give up the ghost for the second run. | Bike [38:30] Not quite as speedy as I'd hoped but at least I look good doin' it. Keep working on nailing those power numbers. | Run 2 [27:51] Yep, starting to feel the effect of Run 1. Just follow the plan and hang on best ya can. Where are the water stops? So far away! Sucking wind coming into the finish. |
Overall [1:27:26]: Woooo! 3rd place AG even after they combined us with the real duathletes (who took 1st & 2nd)! NICE! Finally starting to feel maybe somewhat like a real runner. So proud! Would have been a PR with a swim; still a PR given it's my first duathlon.
