Great result! I am avoiding doing a duathlon or triathlon primarily b/c of the run. You run better than i do!

I started really training for it about 2 to 3 months out. What really helped me the most was 6 weeks out from the race on Saturday mornings I went and did my race mileage. So come race day it was just another workout on Saturday and my legs and body were acclimated to the transitions. Sundays were my long bike rides with a short run after and somewhere during the week I threw in another brick workout. Run, bike, run, bike, run, bike and run. The more you get your legs use to the transitions the better off you are.

Nice job out there Shawnada!!! Congrats on a great race! Glad to hear that all went well and that you got to take home some hardware- always a nice surprise.
Yes, I'm surprised at the people who beat me in races, and I might surprise some myself. I guess the old addage- you can't judge a book by it's cover- really DOES make a world of sense.Check out my running blog: www.turtlepacing.blogspot.com
