Dambuster Duathlon
First race of the season done. I have to say, it was a real shock to the system! I simply have not done the intensity for a blast like this. It was a 10k (actually 9.8k) run, 42k bike, 5k run. Surprisingly, I ran ok and clocked 34:17 for the first run. I always struggle for the first few miles of a duathlon bike. However, I struggled for the first 26 miles in this one! I just never got going. My time wasn't horrendous at 1:0849 but it just wasn't 'there'. The second run was the normal painfest! But a 17:07 split was pleasing - hope the distance was accurate! I'll get some pics up soon.
so an overall 2:01:46 for 20th place overall and an Age Group win. Can't complain but my legs are shot to bits today. But I did win a box of cereal and some wine! Roll on summer!
some great RAF potential new guys out there racing yesterday, which was most pleasing.

well done buddy, great racing.
I love it. A sub 35min 10k in a duathlon and only "I ran ok". I wish mate. Lol. Bodes well for later.
looking good sagster! and 1st RAF seeing as PN earned himself a DQ!!
AG win; fantastic Sags mate, very well done.
Awesome times there Sags! Recover well bud!
Too kind fella. I really have not got the intensity training in this year so hopefully some improvements to come.
Anyone notice the slimline Nelly G in his Blog pick?!! Great stuff Neill!
