Dirty Duo Results
Well, this race was a lot of fun even though the participation was lacking. The run started as I thought it would... I paced myself right behind the leader waiting for him to make a move... he eventually died off a bit and I took advantage of it creating as much of a gap as I could. The reason I did this was because I was aware of his speed on the bike. My minute or two lead on the bike allowed me to hold him off until the halfway point on the bike. I then rested for a bit and kicked it up a notch the last 1.5 miles of the course. I came in a minute down from the last leg bike to run and was a mere 3 or so seconds behind him at the finish line. Clearly if the run was a little longer it would have been a sweet victory. After all it was just for fun and I had a blast, and a good workout. The race was a 1 mile run 5 mile MTB and then a 1 mile run. Good stuff and I have another medal for my display case:) I will post some pictures later. OH! almost forgot...I made it home in time to see my favorite team, the Steelers, and they beat the Cowboys. 10-3 record now...NICE!
