Duathlon Craziness!




This weekend just been I did something I'd been determined to do... I did a duathlon. Now the complication you need to understand is that last time I tried to do one I broke my foot a week before... and this time .... well this time I got a viral throat infection and was pretty much a write off for a week beforehand. Therefore my training consisted of one 5km run 2 weeks before the duathlon... and I went mountainbiking on saturday if that counts. But thats mainly going downhill... So it was pretty much a duathlon with no immune system and no fitness, lol. Fun fun fun.

The duathlon was on sunday 21st Jan ... and although I thought I'd end up walking it due to not being too well, I managed to keep running the whole way (well except for the bike part obviously). It was a mini duathlon.... run, bike, run. And it was definitely a challenge .... but I came in under an hour, and I actually crossed the finish line so I'm pretty stoked bring on the next one!! I've decided this year i'm gonna try to get fit.

Here's a few pics I scabbed off the event website I'm doing another one on the 15th April if anyone wants to join me ... this one is ladies only though sorry. www.realduathlon.co.nz
