Mountain - Plains - Where are all my homies?

Hey guys I'm doing a duathlon race this Saturday at Cherry Creek. Its going to be my first one and it should be interesting by far. :) Come out and support me if you want. :)

Snowy.

This Saturday? When the temp won't get above freezing and there's a 40% chance of snow? That's a hardcore duathlon. Maybe I'll ride out on my new studded tires (which I haven't been able to try out yet) and watch the fun.

yep this Saturday, rain,shine,snow etc they say :)

Ouch! I just looked at the forcast this weekend.
Good Luck!

My goodness. I managed to post this in the wrong thread. Lol

Yuck. The weather looks positively disgusting tomorrow. Good luck with that snow... snowy.

I looked into duathalons earlier this year. The issue is that no matter how hard I try I never have the desire to run and train or the time.
The half colfax marathon was a blast but .....

Ahhh I wanna do a duathlon! Why didn't you tell me you were into this Snowy. I wanna start doing sprint tri's in the spring. We should train together(mostly cause I dont know what the hell I'm doin') for next season! What do ya think?

Good luck! I remember my first race was duathlon back in the 90s, Danialle Ballenger (endurance goddess) used to put a tri/du on in Evergreen. It was awesome, it was also mid-summer when it should have been:D Umpteen tris later, it was still the most fun I have had.

As to your original question, I will be inside, on a spin bike, thinking of you!

Warm vibes your way~~~~~~~~

We can definitely train together I will be mountain bike racing next season and thats the reason why I'm doing this race. Basically just to keep me in shape for the off season. I'm also snowboarding too so I keeping in shape. :)

You can still sign up for the next two races (Duathlon) one is in January and the other one is in February. Its called the Chilly Cheeks Duathlon. You can find it on www.active.com :)

Thanks for the support everyone it should be interesting tomorrow :)

(mostly cause I dont know what the hell I'm doin')

Its run/bike/run


what part of that is so confusing? :p

The sprint are swim/bike/run. The swimming.....yeah, not so much.

Thats why I stared out with Duathlons, to stay out of the water:eek:

But slowly, over time, I taught myself to swim really slowly and now I can swim forever, it just takes me forever, but that usually means I spend most of the bike leg passing people, so I got that goign for me:p

That and since every tri here in the mountains is wet suit legal, you can pretty much float if you get tired with a wetsuit on.

I fear for snowgirl, it is freakin cold cold cold out there today, wet and cold, hello hypothermia!

Can't wait to hear the report!

So... how'd it go, Snowy???

I'd have tried to make it, but I'm busy packing... Hope everything went well!


(Oh, and yeah, it was a bit cold while riding today! :D )

No reply from snowy?
This is conjuring an image of her as a frozen ice statue at cherry creek. :p

At least she will be a very fast looking ice sculpture;)

And if she isn't isnt in the shade she should thaw out today:p

Race went well everyone. I went snowboarding today and haven't had the time to log on. :) I finished the run and bike in 1hour and 25mins. Pretty good for my first duathlon. I'm quite happy with my results.

It was COLD and ICEY. They did allow us to make the choice to not complete the ride, but that was the whole reason for me going. I had to do it on my mountain bike and that was a good choice to go with that bike. My legs are in horrible pain today not real sure why, but going from the run to bike was something new for me. ALL IN ALL I had a GREAT TIME :)

Congrats on the race. I was nasty out yesterday.

Um, I think we'd all be in a bit of pain after that.

Congratulations!
