Saturday was the Staggerwing Duathlon in Tullahoma, my first duathlon. I started the day with Ronnie waking me up 6 minutes before my alarm was set to go off. He was concerned that I had overslept; he is not use to it being so late when I leave for a race. I left the house at 6:00. I had checked the weather forecast before I left and it was calling for bright sun all morning and some clouds all afternoon. When I got the race site it was cloudy and stayed that way for most of the race. Perfect weather!
The run was an out and back on the runway and an out and back on a paved trail. Nice and flat! 4k run time 20:57, 8:27 pace.
The bike was an out and back on some country roads. There was a nice long down hill at the beginning of the ride and I knew it was going to be tough to climb at the end. 30k ride time 1:01:39, avg 18.1 mph.
The second run was the reverse of the first. 4k run time 21:25, 8:38 pace.
My transition times were 1:11 and 1:12. Over all race time was 1:46:22. Good enough for a second place age group finish. I got the cool propeller in the picture below, Staggerwing is an aircraft museum.
This afternoon my friend Tracy and I went for a ride. She got a bike Thursday and wanted to take it out for a spin. We rode the route out by my house since it is mostly flat. 20.22 miles in 1:24:40. Nice recovery ride for me and a great break in ride for Tracy.
