Saturday was a new first for Denise and me. We participated in our first Duathlon called the Spring Classic. A duathlon is an event that combines running and bike racing. In this case it was a 5K run on Marine Drive in Portland, followed by a 15 mile bike ride and then another 5k run. The transition from running to riding then back to running was probably more difficult then the on-course events. My finish time was 1 hour 46 minutes and Denise was 2 hours 4 minutes. This event had serious athletes in it.
Since my last post on Wednesday I had training runs on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and this morning and took Sunday morning off for Easter and to recover from the Spring Classic. Total miles so far in training for the MCM is now 44.75. Next event is the Bridge to Brews 10k this coming Sunday with Denise, Walt Warren, Bill and Vicki Fouch, Taylor Vilhauer and several thousand people we don't know yet.
