Du State Du Duathlon-Loud Thunder

Yesterday I participated in my 3rd Du State Du. The weather was nice, but still a little on the warm side for my taste. Temp was around 72-75, but the humidity was lower than my HNI 5k run the day before.

There was a record turnout for this race, 159 entries. The race consists of a 1.94 mile run, a 14.71 mile bike ride, followed by a 1.81 mile run.

I had a time of 1:14:51, which was faster than last year's race(1:15:55), but not as fast as two years ago(1:14:35). My pace for the three legs were 7:16/mile, 19.5 mph, 7:51/mile.

I ended up with 3rd place. I was satisfied with this effort as I didn't have a rest day before this race because of my participation in the HNI 5k. Doing two races back to back is hard to do when you reach my age without proper recovery time.
