hey
so Sorry, I meant to blog a few days back but just havent had it in me. So I did my first Duathlon ever. It was totally kick ass!! ! Because im technically challenged, I dont get much time in my big gear during the mountain bike races. you guessed right. i rode the whole 22 miles of the Dual in my large gear. (I guess I missed alittle due to shifting problems, but for the most part)
This makes me think I need to step it up a notch in the mountain bike races, though i think my prior posts show I was already aware of that. And now I am totally excited to try a sprint. 1/4 mile swim, 22 mile bike, and a 3 mile run.
I have alot to work on, my transitions where 1.25 and 1.45, to give you an idea the leaders transitions times where 19 secs and 25 secs. and my miles where 9.5 min/mile but thats all good. I didnt train for this event so I will take it.
My goal was 2 hrs 10 mins, my hope was under 2 hrs, I ended up finishing in 2 hrs 5 mins so right in the middle of my hope and expectation. I can live with that.
So I just got back from having dinner with a friend. It was a lovely evening but after a couple glasses of wine you may have to forgive my rambling on this post. We had a lovely time and some great in depth well needed conversation.
All goes after some Martinis and a couple glasses of wine.
Last week I was in Bozeman, Montana. It is one of my favorite places so far. There is something about the 360 view of the mountains, the crisp fresh air, and the ability to see the stars, (I forgot how wonderful that is).
I went out to help my boyfriends Dad build his home but unfortunately I wasnt much help. Apparently the tools were lacking for the people available to help. I spent most of my time hiking up the M, Peets Bluff, and Hyalite Canyon.
I had perfect 70 degree sunny weather and also got some good bike rides in to train for my dual. I cant wait to go back!!!!
Well I know this emails alittle choppy, but I will catch up soon. I have a baby shower for my new neice Tiffany tommorrow day, than our MTB awards party tommorrow night, along with a great post season potluck/mtb ride on Sunday with all the wonderful people we have met this year. See you all soon
