Race Results: Gatorade Race 2 - Elwood
My first race for the season and first in quite a while. Due to the bad weather we’ve been having lately, the swim leg was cancelled and replaced by a 1.4km run, turning the event into a duathlon. I’ve only really been building into a proper training load for a few weeks prior to this race, so was a bit unsure I’d be race-ready.
- Run (1.4km): 00:05:24
- T1: 00:01:06
- Bike (20km): 00:39:15
- T2: 00:01:14
- Run (5km): 00:22:57
- Overall time: 01:09:57
All up, I wouldn’t say I was pleased with the race (especially that bike time) and can see that there’s a lot of room to improve, but the signs are good that I’m starting to get back to acceptable level of fitness. My next race isn’t until mid-January, so as long as I keep the training going (and don’t eat too much over Christmas!), I think things will be looking OK in the new year.
