Race: Queensland Duathlon Champs
Distance: 5km/20km/2.5km It was a freezing morning and a early start of a 3:30am wake up. Arrived at the venue at 5.30am for transition opening. Warm up: 20 minutes with run drills and run through. Legs felt good. Body was freezing. That was the reasoning of the long warm up. 1st run: 5km Had a very fast start with the girls going out full gas, they started to slow down, but I had power and legs felt good to keep my pace and get on the bike first. Transition 1 Was a good mount onto the bike, however I was a bit slow with getting my shoes on. Bike: 20km Lots of hills, my gearing was alright, however I think I could of chosen better, as the laps went on my knowledge of how to ride the course improved. Legs were super tired at this point. Transition 2 Shoes on and went, straight out in 1st with a 40 sec lead on 2nd place Run: 2.5km Legs felt really heavy, but mentally I was feeling amazing which kept me going. Result: Race Winner – fastest Female 18-19 years Queensland Champion What I have learnt from this race: Riding the course at least once before the race. And my turning down the hills on the bikes were sloppy. The run, I know I went out to hard, so I need to know my pace. Other than that I am very happy with race.
