Thanks for posting this! I'll probably make a full of myself but the duathalon is maybe something I could do. Anyone else care to share the back row with me?

Besides your normal run and bike workouts that you would do to train for any race, you need to do "brick" workouts. That means you need to do a ride and then immediately following do a run so your legs get used to the change. Its tough at first but its not something you want to do for the first time in a race. We should do some XC rides and runs together but I'll warn you - I'm a SLOW ass runner

Hey Mel, I am 90% sure I am going to do this. I just can't pay until the end of June as we are leaving for Vegas on the 10th.I have started to train as though I am going. It's the bike part the concerns me the most.I rode Sulpher Springs yeasterday and it was hard but a good way to start getting ready.

Great - ok we'll get together for some XC rides. I'll have a lot more time come the end of june when my husband is off (he's a teacher) and it'll be easier to work around the baby.......Do you work Mon-Fri typical day stuff. If you ever off during the week, during the day I can easily do that. We'll work it out - looking forward to having a training partner!
