Did I do as well as I hopped for, No, I am disappointed that I waited too long to register, With less bottle necks I could have done a lot better. I did do very well in maintaining my energy levels and found out I could push my body pretty hard and survive through the pain and endurance over a long period of time. Mentally I felt it held me back as I caught me self loosing focus when I was in a bad spot It took too long to plan a way out or around. When I was in the grove I did really well. I feel blessed that at my age I was able to do this and feel comfortable enough knowing I will do it again.

Lakeside Duathlon
We started the first leg on the road standing in the cold rain. I waited and shivered even though I did a warm up run. I put on a jacket then put a vest over the jack to keep warm while waiting for the start of the race. My wife toll me to suck it up and give her the jacket, which I handed over. I still had my vest but I had to pin my bib number to it as it was covering my number.
Subaru Series Orillia Sprint Duathlon
The 30 km bike route was well marked every 10 km. I saw a good number of riders with flats, I think that was good to take some extra caution and not push so hard on corners of bad roads. I pushed steady and kept passing where I could. I did get blocked by riders riding side by side for too long and I yelled out and just then someone passed me over the road line into oncoming traffic. With about 10 km left in the bike race I took in a jell and planned my stretches to the last 3 km. I raced down the hill to the finish line and my brakes squealed as I UN-clipped my right foot as I rode with only my left foot clipped in and my right foot behind ready to land. Just as my right foot touch down the back of the bike popped up and I un-clipped my left foot and started running. I heard cheers from fans that mad me feel great. I even passed another running in bike shoes.
