I just registered for my first duathlon...I feel kinda pukey. Very much like I did after registering for my first marathon, even though I know this won't hurt nearly so much (assuming I don't crash, heh). I looked at last year's results and have a feeling I will be WAY at the end of the field, but that's OK--better to set an easy first-time PR and have lots of room for improvement next time! :D
Good luck, Zoom! You will do just fine.
When is the duathlon and what are the distances?
You're going to rock it, zoom-zoom!!!! Don't worry- you'll do GREAT!!!;)
Thanks, girls! I am mostly freaked by the potential for crash or collision with another cyclist. 'Cause I'm a klutz. :p
It's 5k run, 30k bike, 5k run. I don't normally like 5ks, so it's kinda icky that I have to do 2 of them in one day, heh. But 30k on the bike sounds like a good distance.Quote:

4/25 - the Steelcase Grand Duathlon. Looks like last year had ~110 participants...I have no idea if that is a big turn-out.
Exciting! I have only done one duathlon, but it was a blast! Keep us updated!
Awesome! I'm sure you'll do great and probably totally surprise yourself!
I've never done a duathlon and I don't imagine I ever will...the thought of running twice in one race kinda makes me wanna hurl! :p
Congrats! I'm sure you'll be ready by then.
I've heard it said that all races hurt, but just in different ways :rolleyes:
Exciting! An opportunity to try something new. :)
This is true!Quote:

You are gonna do great and have a good time doing it. It will be fun!
