{duathlon officially dabbled...}

I did it! I completed my first duathlon and I met my goal. I was a little disappointed with my performance relative to the others in my age group, but heck, I can always do another one, right?!

PS - of course, this is not me. Just a classy pic by Erik Frideen from Vogue Brazil. I love her socks!

{ready to ride...}

I did my last training ride up Toronto's Humber River last night and am set to tackle my first duathlon on Sunday! Ghost (that's my bike) is all tuned up and ready to roll. Wish us luck!

{and then the rain came...}

Finally. It has been so hot and muggy here for weeks. And last night, it poured. And poured.

The sun is trying to peep out this afternoon, hopefully long enough for a BBQ with friends. Wouldn't mind a little rain tomorrow so I can have a sleepy Saturday and a wee break from duathlon training. My little bike is exhausted from carrying me around ;)

{dabbling in a duathlon...}

Well, it's not exactly dabbling if you're going to run 2km, bike 25km and run another 7km! I'm not expecting a first prize ribbon in my August 8th race, but I do hope to finish with at least a little class ;)
