Great work KSH! I'm glad you made it and survived to tell the tale.
Regarding snot: you just described my very usual routine for any bike ride with some intensity. Don't worry about it and don't waste time with tissues, which will only irritate your poor nose. It's a duathlon after all, your nose just wants to RUN!!
About those cramps: I have kept up with your running-coach stories, but I don't remember reading about you getting more investigation about those cramps. When I had my ovarian cysts running and high-impact aerobics would give me terrible abdominal pain. I don't say you have ovarian cysts, but just that those cramps might not be linked to your running form or breathing. Have you considered seeing a doctor about this?
Three cheers!!

Yelllow... unfortunately, I can't blow snot rockets. HA! Thanks for the kind words.
Grog... I typically carry tissues in a Beneto box on my bike. I can ride and blow my nose... but I don't have a box on my tri bike. I have considered that maybe my side cramps are an internal physical issue... but not sure who to have check that out. Otherwise, I got my annual on Fri. and the Dr. said my olvaries felt just fine.
OH! And I screwed up the times on my race report. Here are my REAL times. DUH!

Congratulations KSH!!!!
Nice race.
As for the bike pace, one or both of your transition times may have been included in your bike time and that would throw the average pace off. It's not unusual for this to be the case, especaily on chipped races.Living life like there's no tomorrow.

Great Job!!!!
It never ceases to amaze me how much mucous the human head can hold. I too am not a rocketeer, so I am always cover.
Awesome job!

Nice race! This makes me want to find a du to possibly do this summer -- NO SWIMMING!
