Run, Bike, Unite! United Way Duathlon

We did it! Becky Towne (Sue Wilson's daughter, and our neighbor in the Pipe House) and I completed the Duathlon! I ran 2 miles (road route), Becky biked 13 miles (road) and I finished with a 2 mile run, partly on the Schmeekle Reserve trails. I can't access the official results, but our overal time was 1:24:??, putting us in 5th place, of 8 women's relay teams. Not too bad - this was Becky's first competitive bike race and my "comeback" run following a none-too-illustrious half-marathon two weeks previous. Becky's time was fabulous - 41 minutes! My first run was very good, for me, a little over 9 minute pace. The second run took a bit longer, for a 10+ minute pace. There are also the two transition times in there. As usual, I didn't get my Nike+ shut off in time. One of these times I'll get that down!
Also competing as relay teams: Mike Onan and Mary Patoka (David's wife); and Leslie Bohl, Jim Bohl and Connie Onan. Individual participants: Kyle Onan and his girlfriend, Mariah. They all did quite well, with Mike and Mary coming in 3rd in their division.
Most of all, we all had fun! There was a really good crowd and the weather was pretty nice, if a bit warm towards the end. Thanks Becky, for being a big part of our successful team! We are already looking forward to next year's event!

Next up: Justiceworks' Just Run 5K on September 4th. ;)
