As my main goal is a longer Duathlon I deceived to ride the the event, race, then ride back. In total I bagged over 100k cycling and near 10k running with the warm up and 2 event runs.
I tried to keep the effort level low when riding to the event but the lumpy route made that difficult. With 47k in the legs before I started run 1 I knew that the edge was take off my performance. But that’s ok - eye on the goal. I still manage to equal my run 1 split from 4 years ago. Happy days but I did start off too fast with a 3:35 k. Good news though, isis T feel horrible and running is in a good place.
Onto the bike and I tried to ease into it but no chance - full gas from the start 😵💫. I was testing my bike position tweaks and I think I’m definitely more aero
Again I equalled my bike split from 4 years ago - slightly faster by my reckoning. Enjoyed riding the Canyon 🚴🚴😃
Into T2 and I was holding 3rd in my wave. The numbers competing this year were low but credit to the Crazy Legs team for still holding a great event.
My overall time was 59:23. Very happy considering I’d bikes to the event. The ride home was tough but picked up as I refuelled. Lesson there for the longer Duathlon. Fuelling strategy will be key.
