Du the farm Duathlon, Savannah GA


What a great day for a race! Yoko and I were down in savannah to visit her sister and I found this duathlon on the Savannah track club website. It was a 5k trail run around a really nice lake, then a fast and windy 10 mile bike, and then another 5k on the same course. I started out with a pretty decent lead after the first 5k, but local guys Ryan Williams and Brian Shreve were going to make it interesting on the bike. At the turn around I saw Ryan had made up a good bit of ground on me, but I had a feeling if I could get off the bike first I was in good shape. After following the police escort back into the farm area, I hopped off the bike and finished up the 5k. It was a super fun morning, great volunteers and a fantastic place for multi sport events. I am going to be in Charleston which is only an hour away on the date of the triathlon, maybe I can make it for that as well!

coming back from the bike. I wish I could have gotten a little more of a draft from the cop car! maybe next time..



done!
