Wrentham Halloween duathlon

Excellent race, very windy. Took 4 minutes off my April time despite the 40 mile per hour wind. It was so windy that it actually took your breath away. On the end of the bike heading up to the transition area the headwind was so strong that several people actually got blown off their bikes. I think that I came out a little hot, and averaged 7:39 minute miles. Bike average speed was 19.1 MPH with 385 feet of ascent over 11 miles, and the second run worked out to 8:12 minute miles. In the spring I was at 8:20s on the first run, 18.4 on the bike, and 9:33s on the second run (no wind for the race).

I'm very happy with the result, but was wishing that the conditions were more conducive to a real comparison (weather as a constant). Oh well, we'll just have to race it again in April!!
