Sprint Duathlon

I completed the second race in the three-race Tribob sprint series. I finished pretty much in the middle of the pack at 281 out of the 620 finishers. According to the final results, my total time was 1:06:26 for the 3k Run - 15k bike - 3k run. Again, I spent too much time in the transitions, but I'm happy with my times.



I finished the first 3k run in 13:56, and then spent 3:06 in the transition to biking. I finished the 15k bike ride in 30:30, and then spent another 2:46 in the transition back to running. In the final 3k run, I took 16:06.

I learned it is much harder to go back to running after the bike. My time for the second run was much slower than the first. I have not trained on any two sports at the same time. They each use different muscle groups, so I think I might have to start doing some combination swimming, biking, and running to get used to switching between muscle groups in the same race.

Having completed the Aquathlon and now the Duathlon, the final race in the series is the Triathlon -- it is coming up soon, so I better get working.
