Du the Bears Duathlon 10/20/2012

Race Report by Scott Morrison:

"With all these triathletes having so much fun, I wanted to try it to0.
Unfortunately I swim as fast as a chihuahua, so I went with a duathlon.

The first run leg was 2.2 miles down and back. Yes down to the water and back up

the hill. ouch.

Bike leg included Mama, Papa, and Baby bear hills, all Cat 4, 20 mile loop. Made

up a lot of time there. They mentioned a bike time cutoff at the start, so I
just tried to haul butt the whole way on the bike because my first run split was
so slow!

Second run leg I had a massive cramp leaving the transition and almost did a

face plant. Stayed upright and did the 2 mile out and back.

I finished 8th of 9 finishers in my category. Not to shabby for a first timer

who's been running for about a month.

I'm going to be doing some more Duathlons next year. Hurts like a TT only

longer. Yes, I'm a glutton for punishment.

At least I gotta t shirt for my suffering!
