Trivic Duathlon Series 2010 Race 3

Race 3 - MPTC, Yarra Boulevard, Richmond results
PB overall 1:08:58 (and Bike) Duathlon result over this distance (although I think bike was a little short), 55th (of 105) outright (slightly worse than the previous race), but 5th again in category (equaling my best).

Back at Yarra Boulevard, same location as Race 1. But unfortunately the run 1 course was a little different, so no direct comparisons there.
  1. Run 1 - OK, not fastest but consistent, slight course change, and the Garmin measured 4.8km (it was 5.25km on race 1). Measured time of 19:55, but distance adjusted time of 20:45 for 5km was similar to previous races.
  2. Bike - Again new bike showed faster average speed, but much of my "improvement" seemed to come for the bike course being some 1km short. It rained in the last lap of the bike, but it was nice and dry before then, so I did have good speed, and the "older little guy in grey" didn't pass my until the 4th lap rather than the 2nd (I passed him back on run 2:) Fastest (nominal) 20km bike ever, including triathlons, of 36:03 and that includes T1 and T2!
  3. Run 2 - 13:00 a 25 second improvement over race 1.
Not bad considering I have a sore neck/shoulder, and there still an issue with my left calf.
