Final #du of the season. Thanks to @sdtriseries @kozevents and extra thanks to the #volunteers !! Events like this don’t happen without the volunteers, and your efforts are appropriated!! The good: - Didn’t die - While this wasn’t a expected outcome it was a possibility given how poorly I trained this week - My transition times are coming down, I’m getting that part figured - The #seahawks shirt was a hit, with plenty of go Hawks, a couple go M’s, and a shout out at the finish line - I was only a couple miles into the bike when I was passed by the first triathlete, but wasn’t passed again till I was 2/3 done with the bike The bad: - I went too hard on the first run - There were fellow duathletes ahead of me on the bike course and I can’t turn off the lizard part of my brain that needs to chase them down. - That made the run suck Special thanks to the Lovely and Talented @kjuw89 I can’t do this without her love, encouragement, and patience with long weekend training sessions #missionbayduathlon #duathlon (at Mission Beach) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cjf-Wb5rZ-1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Today’s #wednesdayworkout #crosstrainingworkout was a #brickworkout. I got the old #litespeedroadbike out and took advantage of empty roads, spinning my way over to @georgemasonu to cycle the #masonloop then after getting back to #mantuava I hopped off the bike, did a quick shoe change and ran a mile. I used to do these little bricks a lot, and I feel like I need to get back to them. Who knows, maybe I’ll even talk myself into doing another #duathlon. #runblr #fitblr #bikeblr #basebuilding #roadcycling #streetcycling (at Fairfax, Virginia)

We did our first Duathlon today. Daughter and I tackled the short course which was run 2.5km bike 14km run 1.5km which I completed in 54.49 coming in 7th of 11 in my age group. Not a bad effort for a first attempt using our mountain bikes. I am keen to get over my fear of being clipped in and use my road bike to do another. Despite it being freezing cold 4ºC and damp underfoot with a reasonable head wind I really enjoyed the event. Hubby did a fantastic job as support crew and chief photographer.

Goals:

Finish the bike portion in 1 hour ✔️

Finish everything in 2 hours ✔️

Actually drink my post-race beer ✔️

Despite doing an 8 week triathlon training clinic, I’m still very much n o t into open water swimming. I’ve done all the swims in the clinic, but I couldn’t bring myself to sign up for the trialthlon and face a group open water swim.

I signed up for the duathlon instead, which was a 1.5 mile run, 10 mile bike, and finished off with a 5k. My hybrid mountain bike and I survived the bike ride and made it through all 10 miles in exactly an hour, which was no small feat considering I had to hop off adjust my seat when it fell mid-ride TWICE. I’d like to do another just to see what kind of time I could make with a basic road bike, because I felt like loads of people were cruising past me as I was pedaling up the hills with all my might.

It was a wild ride from start to finish, and I’m so thrilled I managed to hit all my goals. The entire experience has been a dream - so many of the women I’ve trained with over the last weeks have incredible stories and the energy both in the clinic and at the race was exciting and inspiring.

so i had to get my asthma medication filled today, so i went to my pharmacy at stationsplein (did i spell that right?) and when i was leaving, i thought you’d like to see the cool system they have here for bike parking... thousands of bikes here and you bike in, scan your OV-chipkaart (you don’t have to get off your bike!!!) bike upstairs to find parking and when you leave you bike out! loooove this side of utrecht centraal!!! • • • • • • • • • • • • • • #swim #swimmer #swimming #run #runner #running #bike #musicians #travel #inspiration #motivation #music #triathlon #duathlon #5k #10k #dapper #style #gay #gayboy #instagay #muscles #10k #fitness #fitnessmotivation #aitnl #violin #baroqueviolin #foodie #fashion (at Fietsenstalling Stationsplein) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bqvwih2lDuH/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19pwl28mdubnu

The shake up continues. I caved and signed up for a race, but instead of a marathon or a long course triathlon, I went for a short duathlon. I had been close to signing up for a half iron, but I finally got real about swimming.

I like swimming. I like it a lot. But I just don’t want to go swimming right now. I don’t see how I can fit rowing AND swimming into a schedule that includes 3 days of weight lifting, a lot of running and at least 2 days of biking.

While a longer race plays to my strengths better than a short one, I’m excited to have a race on the schedule that will fit with what I want to do right now. Looks like there will be some bricks in my future!
