This was done 2 x weeks following my disc replacement of C5/C6 disc. Neck was bothering me about half-way through the run due to the bouncing.

Not replace a disc before the event!! Run more. Good run for my condition though!

Equipment was laid out very well and prepared. Had a spot at the very front of the transition area. Winded from run so moving a bit slow.

Practice Transition to gain some time.

The bike was my saving event. I had been riding and not so much running prior to this event and I made up some good time here, passing about 15 people who had begun before me. Bike felt very good.

More peddle time of course!! Need to run the Weekend 19.7 ride course for the hill bricks

Stretched and walked out the legs. Sipped water until HR was back down to resting.


Brand new disc at C5/C6 that wasn't sure what it was doing other than holding my spine together!!


For a two event Duathlon without a third follow-on event, this was a good race for my first time out. The race was followed by a chili cook-off and all participants received two free beers although I did not finish the second. Good time and recommended as a near end of the year event.
