Barkin Dog Duathlon - Duathlon

Went out at a very steady pace and held my heart rate. Hooked up with another runner after a mile and we kept each other company for the rest of the run. Felt great at the end and was ready to ride.

My transitions always seem slow but methodical - is that a good thing! I know that I could save some time here but I feel comfortable with the pace and the fact that I do not miss anything.

This was the worst part of the race for me. I was too conservative and should have been faster - I consistently train around 19 mph. It was disappointing to be under 18 mph, especially as I felt I had plenty in the tank for the last run.

This is the first time that I have used different shoes for each leg of the run, normal running shoes for first 5k and racing flats for second 5k.

Overall really pleased to easily break two hours for the first time.
