Phew… completed the London Duathlon today. To be honest I was worried about the running as the training was put on hold due to the reoccurrence of crepitus in my left ankle, but with a few weeks rest it slowly recovered, to a reasonable level and I was able to compete.
The race began with a 10K run, and I pulled out the stops to record 39:47, which is great for me. Both transitions were far quicker thanks to the use of elastic shoe laces. As expected I blitzed the 20K bike section in 40:25, and recorded a modest 20:36 for the final 5K run. Finding out I made it into the top 200 made me smile.
