Bronda's Duathlon 2014

11.16.14

Miserable.

That's how the weather was today.  39 with high winds and a steady cold rain all morning.  Miserable.

I was aiming for 1:35 or faster on this one.  It wasn't going to happen.

uneventful, albeit somewhat slow opening run.

The ride was a mess.  Cold, wet and windy.  My glasses continued to fog, and, the headwind was at the worst possible place on the loop, the area with the slow, steady rise.  The conditions made it difficult to get a good rhythm going.

As I headed into the tunnel towards transition, I removed my glasses to see, and one of the arms came off.  I hastily shoved all the pieces in my pocket, and headed back to transition.

Transition was slow, as I removed my gloves (I knew enough to not try to get them back on), and headed out sans gloves and shades.

The last run was miserable, as my hands hurt, and the weather still sucked.

I clocked a slow 1:44:50.  yuck.  Im looking forward to shelving the bike for a bit and concentrating on running.  I'll get back to multi-sport in the Spring.
