Hi Gals,

I'm going to do my first Du on Saturday. It's a sprint - 2 K Run/10 K Bike/ 2 K Run. I've basically been training in 3 components: Strength 1 or 2 times per week, Running (actually, I'm still what I would call jogging) 2x4 K and 1 x 10 K per week, and biking anywhere from 24-40 K, 2 or 3 times per week. Once per week I do the combo thing - run 4 K, Bike 30 K and run 4 K. I'm practically dead when I get home, and can"t run the last leg non-stop, but I keep picking away at it!
This morning, I did a practise run for Saturday's Du, and came in at exactly 1 hour.
I'm getting ready for the Tim Horton's Duathlon in Windsor on Aug. 11. That one will be a biggie - 3K run/30K bike/6 K run.

I've just added some interval training to my routine this week. I'm not going to be breaking any speed records, but I am going to challenge myself, and I know it'll feel great to cross that Finish line!

I'm looking for information on the Niagra on the Lake Duathlon. I think itès held September 21st. If anyone has any info. on that I would appreciate hearing from you!

Regards,

Trixiee
