Duathlon: Done
2 mile run / 11 mile bike / 2 mile run
It was awesome. I loved every single second of it. I wasn't last. \o/
Overall place: 340/500
Age group place: 29/35
1st 2 mile run: 20:43 (Sweet!)
Transition 1: 1:51
11 mile bike: 48:19
2nd transition: 1:40
2nd 2 mile run: 22:25
Total: 1:34:55.7
The weather was gorgeous but windy. The course was a little hilly. I loved every single second of it. I was a little worried when we got started because I wasn't sure how many were behind me, my wave started last, so my fear of being last was even more possible. The course was out and back, so when we turned at the 1st mile, I saw a bunch of people behind me. I felt so much better after that, it was all cake.
I never run that fast, it was beautiful. The transition to the bike area went smooth, there weren't a lot of pink bikes, so mine was easy to find. I put on my helmet and my fancy bike gloves and got going. I love to bike. The whole thing just felt smooth and comfortable to me. People were complaining a bit about the wind, but I'm used to from riding out by me where there is all farm fields and no wind breaks. I didn't push really hard and I was still passing people. It was seriously so much fun.
The transition in was great, I got my bike racked and my gloves/helmet off and started running again. I was a little slower on the 2nd two miles, but I felt great. I wasn't pushing I had plenty of people behind me and I just enjoyed the hell out of it. I'm hooked. I already found another one to do when I get back from Hawaii after the 1/2 marathon. I'm totally doing a triathlon next year.

5 years ago, I was morbidly obese. That amazes me sometimes.
