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!

Thanks, girls! I am mostly freaked by the potential for crash or collision with another cyclist. 'Cause I'm a klutz.
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.

4/25 - the Steelcase Grand Duathlon. Looks like last year had ~110 participants...I have no idea if that is a big turn-out.
