Debstir 1st run (4k) - 22:55. T1 - 00:52. Cycle (20k) - 57:03. T2 - 00:40. 2nd run (4k) - 22:36. That was flippin' hard! Started the 1st run at the very back and just kinda stayed there. Everything seemed to go ok in T1; helmet on, shoes on, gloves on and we're off. Faffed about trying to get my clips in to my pedals then nearly took my finger off trying to adjust my bike computer's sensor - it shifted a bit too far and my fingers got caught in the spokes - OUCH!! That's that lesson learned - check computer BEFORE race! The uphills were still tough even though it wasn't as windy as the first duathlon, maybe something to do with overeating and drinking over Christmas! And lack of cycling... Managed to get off the bike going in to T2 without falling over, so that was nice. Took my glove off to see a big bloody finger and a bruised nail but I was lucky, I could have broke my finger or flung myself over the handlebars. Jelly legs for the start of run 2 and they lasted about a mile. Actually managed to overtake someone in the last run but I think I still finished about 5th last. Bothered? Nah, at least I finished!! Unaffiliated 1:44:14 1:44:14 1:44:14 83.86
