it is now 9 days and a wake up until Duathlon Nationals. The race has officially reached capacity - 1200 entrants. I have about 130 in my age group. There were only 300 entrants last year and I now I will be racing against almost 50% of that number. I am so glad that the race has become so popular and that people have come out of the woodwork to support the sport of Duathlon.
Of course - having 130 the age group is going to make the goal of qualifying for Worlds that much harder but hey, no one will be able to say that the World Qualifiers this year did not earn it.
Last year 2:03 won my age group and placed in the top 10 overall - my guess is that this year that time will not sniff the top 10 in the age group. We will see!
This weekend I have a tough workout today then an recovery 8 mile run/1 hour bike tomorrow and a killer workout on Sunday - runs, hills, time trials all lumped into one fun session!
On Monday i will be rolling out of here and heading to Chapel Hill to train and relax and then next Saturday we will be off to Richmond to get ready to race.
Keep your fingers crossed - it will be a wild one!
