I don't plan on making this duathlon thing a habit (but I guess five years ago I didn't think I'd have a bike habit either ). I promise I'll NEVER swim, though. Water is not for me either.

I'm doing it as a challenge to myself and as a way to get my runner friend on the bike more. She wanted me to do the team thing again, but I told her the only way I'd go back is if we both go solo.

Maybe I need to look into the MOUNTAIN bike/run duathlons...

And who doesn't like the excuse for more gear?!
