I had my first duathlon of the year last Saturday. Heh! Quite a good start actually. I did better than last year though it wasn't that impressive YET.
Race Statistics 1km Run = 4:55 mins 17km Cycle = 37:45 mins 5km Run = 31:04 mins Overall = 1:13:44 hours (Previous record = 1:18:05 hours)
The champion was an 'ang mo' who clocked a time of 55:24 mins. My time for the next is 1:10 hours and below. Well, still need lots of improvement on cycling and 5km run :) But I'll rather focus more on cycling first. Heh...

Road bikes. Dreaming of having one :p
Too bad, my friend and I got to use mountain bike only.
I had my first duathlon race today:) It's a race which consist of 2 sport which are cycling and running. It was really a great experience for me. Besides enjoying the sport, I also get to know people. Hehe...
The race is organized by someone under Piasau Boat Club. So early this morning, me and my few friends cycled to the place. Wahaha! When I reached there, I see all kinds of racing road bikes. Really attractive! My bike is so buruk, using mountain bike somemore but with the slip tyre. I would like to get one but the only thing is stopping me is $$$. Never mind, I'll get one some day:)
So I was given this handicapped start since it was my first time. Handicap start is like you take the lead for first few minutes then only the others will start. And in the end, I finished first. I was taking the lead most of the time. But yeah, I'm not the fastest. After the race, we had breakfast and spent some time together with others.
My Time 1km Run ≈ 6:45 minutes (warm up) 17km Cycle ≈ 38:20 minutes (not too bad for a mountain bike user) 5km Run ≈ 33 minutes (now this is very very slow!) Total time ≈ 1:18:05 hour
And guess what, the fastest guy finished the whole thing in 58:52 minutes. That's like freaking 20 minutes faster than me!!!
I got this for finishing first. LOL! A trophy and big chocolate bar. But I will have to return the trophy on the next duathlon and see who will be the next to get it.
