Wretham Holloween Duathlon - Scott Carrier 10/31/2007
 So the Duathlon went well, I was having second thoughts about going as I've been racing quite a bit since last spring; duathlons, 5K's and those TT's all summer plus an occasional Chris ride... which can be even more taxing. So I've been trying to be mindful of recovery the past month but still felt a bit on the edge and 5lbs heavier than during the spring Du's. That being said, I went down there pretty well rested and feeling quite relaxed; goal just enjoy the event. First run, was a 19:23 for 3 miles, the bike went well for me; 30 min for 11 miles which gave me the 5th fastest bike leg overall . It was super windy, so most people had a slower bike leg than usual and I was pleased considering I try to ride hard but only tempo on the bike part. The final run was really tough coming off the bike and I struggled with all my might to run a 13:13 for 2 miles. End result was 17th overall out of almost 200 athletes and 2nd out of 17 in my age division which gave me a silver medal and some running gear for prizes. I felt good same time at the spring but on a windy day and my transitions were a bit slower indicating a slight gain in fitness both on the run and bike. 1 Comment  Don't miss this International Race, right here on the North Shore.
