So. I won my age group in my first ever duathlon, Moreton Bay Grand Prix-13. Woot!
Was quite a rainy morning, as it normally is on race day. We drove up to Moreton Bay Lakeside where the duathlon took place on a race course for cars. How nice to race on proper ground, and not have to worry about bad roads, cars and stupid people who decides to walk straight out in the road.

Quite a few Southbankers were up racing but it wasn't a massive competition.

The course was 2km run, 9.4km ride, 1.7km run, 9.4km ride, 1.7km run. It may not seem very hard but with shorter distances like that you just have to sprint the whole way, which makes the transition between cycle and run very hard. The official times haven't been published yet but my Garmin stopped on 1.02.00. Preferably I would have wanted to be under 1hr but I can't complain.

 

Jamie (pic above) came 4th overall and just missed out on the few hundred dollars the top podium positions offered. So he wasn't as happy as me to win his age group.
