Kieran, dim the lights. The results are in and America has voted. Is that your final answer? When it comes to little Johnny, I am NOT the father! Ok, that’s a mashup of random shows that don’t jive with what today’s post is about whatsoever. Except that we ARE talking about results and the results of my very first duathlon are in.
As you’ll recall from this post, my goal was to be one of the top 15 guys (I forgot to mention that I also wanted to finish under 1:10:00). The math for that was 15 minutes for the first 2 miles, 38 for biking, and another 15 for the last 2 miles. Adding 2 for transition time and the total is 1:10:00. Here are the official results…
There were 12 guys that finished ahead of me which means I reached my goal! Also, finishing just under 1:04:00 makes me so happy. I can’t deny that the training helped out a ton and now it just makes me want to train more. During the first 2-mile run, I knew I was going fast but had no idea it was a 6:21 pace. The biking was about as hard as I thought it would be. I seemed to hit a wall around mile 7 but a couple of miles later felt a second wind come over me. I knew the final 2-mile run I had a slower pace but I was happy to see it was still under 7:00 per mile.
Overall, I’m very happy with my performance in the duathlon. Now, time to start training for the next one! Coming up in March is another duathlon featuring a 5K, a 12-mike bike, and finishing with a 1.6-mile run.
