New season of triathlon

We are kicking off the new triathlon season with a series of duathlons. I have been racing in the Sydney series at Parramatta over the last couple of months so I am going along nicely. We had the first of our Warringah club duathlons for 2011 this morning at North Head. The rain held off but the north-easterly wind was blustery and impacted on the bike leg. I finished in around 1h 21m which is around 3 minutes slower than my best time but everybody's times were slower this morning due to the conditions.

We were greeted with a beautiful rainbow after the race that arched across the harbour in vivid clarity. I had planned to run 20km this afternoon in preparation for the upcoming Sydney Marathon on September 18 but I have decided to run 30km on Tuesday instead.
