100 Triathlons
Go to the early blogs to read how I got into triathlons. Click on any picture to enlarge it. "It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood...who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly." Theodore Roosevelt 1910

# 210 Super Bowl Duathlon at Lake Louisa State Park

The first race of the year is always an unknown and never more so for me after the problems of 2024. Well, I braved a very foggy morning today to head out to Clermont and the Super Bowl Duathlon at Lake Louisa State Park. Got set up early and prepared for the first 2-mile run. The sun had burned off the fog by the start and the run course was flat and fast, but I paced my effort for endurance; 10:32 splits. I returned to transition and grabbed my bike, ready for the 12-mile course of rolling hills. I always enjoy chasing people, so this was fun and resulted in a 15.9 mph average speed: 25.8 mph max speed. Jumping into the second run, the sun was hot, reaching the mid 80s, and I pushed as hard as I could; 10:17 splits. Finished up with a 1:28:44, which is 4 minutes slower than 2024. 71st out of 93 finishers; first in my Age Group. Very happy with my efforts; now it’s time to buckle down!
