First taste of duathlon
I had a few goals with today's training:
1. To test my injury but not make it worse.
2. Find a new route for training.
3. Find out what it feels like to run immediately after cycling.
Along the way I managed a bonus goal:
1. To get hopelessly soaked from all of the rain and water.
My route was Allum - Öjersjö - Tahult - Önneröd - Härkeshult - Jonsered - Centrum and after two wrong turns and two stops to check the map, I was out in the forest smelling the pine trees thinking how fantastic it is to be riding in nature. If only it were sunny and not pouring rain and 4C. Bläää. This was a great MTB or cross route but the holes in the road would easily swallow a LVG.
Time: 1:23:55 (This will get better. Now I know where I am going.)
Average HR: 156
Distance: 25.6km
So then after a long transition, it was time for running. In a normal duathlon, I assume that I will not have to unlock two doors, greet the neighbour and their dog, make comments about how this was not the most perfect day to be 'ut och cyklar' and then change shoes and leave. But at least it was within 5 minutes.
Time: 14:35
Average HR: 172
Distance: 2.8km
Not very impressive numbers there. But this was just pure pain. I actually had a leg cramp after 1.5km! Fy FAN what a surprise it was to run off the bike. Need a bit of work on this. I also skipped over the 5km of running before the bike too. But one can say that my route with its 3 or 400m vertical was not a typical duathlon 20km. But still, this was quite the discovery.
Whole trip
Energy: 1260 kcal
Peak HR: 184
Average HR: 158
