Thought I'd be around 20mph on the bike - ended at 19.3, lost about 3 minutes to the goal on the bike, the hills were harder than expected with the wind. Have only ridden outside a few times due to awful winter.
What would you do differently?:

need more early season bike work.

Lost GPS on last run which really hurt in determining pace. Was tough running off the bike - time was 2 minutes off goal

Event comments:

This is a small regional race but super competitive. Top rated triathletes nationally in the race in my AG. If I had this time last year would have been 3rd by more than 4 minutes - this year the time got me 9th in AG. Tough hills but very well run, a lot of local club representation at the race.

Is it possible for loners to work in a small group and still have plenty of time on their own? Training in small groups can give many benefits.

My first duathlon was a success. I had so many fears before the race but none of those fears happened. And when it was all over, I felt I had accomplished something big.

Have a goal when you get into the water. If your purpose is distance, then set your pace for endurance. If your objective is speed, then incorporate drills.
