Sportsman Dundalk Duathlon 2010

Another Day another Race! Season starts to unroll. I wasn’t late for this round of Sportsman Duathlon. Last time I didn’t know start time was changed and when I arrived everybody already  start cycling segment

This time I arrived earlier. I set up my transition one of the first only Bryan Keane was there already.  Half an hour later transition area transformed to a busy place with fancy bikes.

The weather was warm but anyway I decided to put arm warmers as forecast promise some rain on a way. I didn’t regret.

I was competing with guys. My goal was to finish 5th overall. Finish first run in top 10 than on a bike leg start to push and overtake guys. Some lads couldn’t take that female pass them and didn’t hesitate to draft.

Start last run with one guy and three other were chasing me behind. Push myself harder and encourage a guy beside me to stay with me. Than after a while run away from them.

Finished 8th overall and won female title! Felt much better than in February and did 3 minutes faster. Bryan Keane won overall by miles!

Afterwords was the most favourite part of competition soup, sandwiches and a cup of coffee plus award ceremony
