They put every competitor race number and age so you knew who was your direct competition
waiting for the race to start
leaving the bike tent to start my 12 mile ride
ungracefully mounting my bike after running 3.1 miles
off I go!
Today I completed in my first duathlon. "What the heck is that?", you ask. It means run, bike, run. For this race it was a 5K run (3.1 miles) 12 mile bike ride, and another 5K run. I am not sure about my finishing time because the results were not up when we left the park. Justin joined me as my cheerleader and camera man. Such a sport waking up at 6am on a Saturday to support me. I had a great time competing in this. Oh man did my legs feel like jell-o during the transition from biking back to running. I felt like I was running like a muppet for the first 1/4 mile, haha. I am already scouring the internet for more races like this one. I had a blast! Yay!!
