Well, I've been continuing with my training!

I have signed up for an Olympic length duathlon on June 6. It's a 5k run, 40k bike, 10k run.

I expect to finish it in about 3 hours. My bike times are getting a lot faster, and if I come in under 3 hours I will be THRILLED. I elected not to do the triathlon because the water temperature will be under 70 degrees, I don't own a wetsuit, and because of the two previous points it would be my first open water swim. Not such a good combination for a race I pay to enter, so I'm going to do the duathlon instead.

Wish me luck!! I've been having a great time training and now the prospect of the Olympic length at SavageMan this September is not looking so daunting, even though I might have to rent a wetsuit for that one.
