Du State Du Training

This last week I have been doing more running than biking. When I do bike I am only putting in about 10 miles a day. Running is not near as much fun as biking and I have a hard time spending more than 15 minutes running, which usually means about 2 miles. This week I am taking it easier and tapering for my race on Sunday.

The Du State Du is a duathlon and it starts at 8am Sunday at the Loud Thunder Park near Illinois City. Last week I went over and rode the bike course (15 miles) and it is very hilly. The running course is flat and shouldn't be to difficult.

Earlier this week I ran on an asphalt road near my home and did 2 miles in 14 minutes 23 seconds. If I can maintain this pace for both running legs and do ok on my biking leg I may be able to place 3rd or 4th in my age group, based upon last year's results.
