Today was Race #3 for the Chilly Cheeks Duathlon. What a good experience! The weather was really nice and the roads were clear. I was running behind today. I turned around because I left my computrainer at home. I finally showed up at the race with 15 minutes to spare. I need to get better at this.

I started in Wave B. This was pretty neat because I could catch a few people, but didn't have to worry about passing too many people. There were more that passed me that who I caught. That was ok because some of those were very excellent riders. I was a little sad to see that the #1 girl passed me towards the end of the bike. I was going to catch her on the run I kept telling myself. A big part of the run was on snow/ice. That was hard because you could sink in.

I was supposed to ride my bike for 2 hours and run for 30 minutes. I flipped days and changed the schedule a little because I today was more race/tempo pace.

I finished 25th overall with a time of 55:00. I also finished 11th in my age division. That was awesome because I scored a few more points for the rankings. I was tied for 13th place overall in my age division. The bike was about 11 miles and the run was 2.5+ miles.

I got a huge side cramp on the run, it finally went away about half-way through. I will need to drink more water the night before and no eggs. I thought it was a good idea, but it seemed that I need more carbs and less protein.
