WP Duathlon Trials - Killarney

Sunday 13 May was the WP Duathlon Trials at Killarney race track.

I knew it was going to be a hard one.
I haven't been on my road bike since SA Triathlon Champs, the wind was blowing and it was at 14h00 in the afternoon. And to make it even worse, we had to run 4 laps (10km), ride 6 laps (40km) and run 2 laps (5km).

The first 2 laps on the run I felt really great and strong, but it just went downhill from there. The last 2 laps was very hard, mentally.

I felt strong on the bike, better than what I thought I would. It felt like the wind got stronger with each lap but before I knew the 40km cycle was over.

Another 2 laps (5km) of running...I knew I had to dig deep to keep going.

I finished 6th overall and I won my age group.

Final Summary of my race: THAT WAS HARD!!!

I can't believe I must do that 'Hamster on a Wheel' course all over again on Sunday 20 May at the WP Duathlon Championships.
