Hey Orions.Star

Are you still planning to do duathlon in February?

I did my first two last year, my first one was similar to yours in distance, but not in elevation! My times were brutal, but I finished. I was doing weights twice a week, (one day upper, one day lower), two rides a week - one usually sprint intervals and a long ride on the weekend and two days of running, one more intense with intervals, the other just a tempo run.

I worked way too hard on the bike during the race and sucked the energy out of my legs, so for the final run, I was toast.

Upped the intensity over the summer and impoved my run times, bike time was ok, but I didn't kill myself on the bike so that I could run that last 5.

You have the benefit of those hills and elevation! Can't wait to hear your race story!
