I’ll be frank, my #1 goal in every race is to just not embarrass the heck out of myself. That could happen in a lot of ways. I try to avoid all of those ways.
No one wants to be Phoebe. Well, except when she was sick and had the smokey singing voice we all want. Remember that? But for my next duathlon coming up in a couple of weeks, I have goals similar to my last duathlon (recap here). I’d like my total time to be between 1:08 and 1:10, so officially I’m calling it 1:09:00. This will be difficult because it’s about a half mile longer running than the last race. Here’s the breakdown of each event:
5K Run – goal 22:00
12-mile Bike – goal 38:00
1.6-mile Run – goal 11:15
Transitions – goal 1:00
The math adds up to 1:12:15 so I have just a slight idea of where I can gain the 3 minutes to reach my goal. It’s on the bike. No matter if I reach this goal or not though, I’ll still basically call it a win if I don’t totally embarrass myself.
