Am I du-ing this right?
Once the plane hit the ground back in Texas after the Clermont EDR race it was full blown track season. With my new Elite card in hand confidence was high and I was crushing workouts. Throwing in bike and swim workouts was on an if there was time and my body allowed it basis. Which is hard while posting 115 miles per week. Before I knew it my racing season was underway and had some solid 1500s and a good 5k under my belt. Lone star champs marked the end of track season, a few weeks of triathlon training down in Texas and it was time to come back to Iowa for the summer. I crushed my first week back and decided I should do Hickory Grove Duathlon. Why a duathlon and not a triathlon you may be asking? Well it was super cold that weekend and I didn't feel my swim was ready honestly. Also after some digging of previous times I decided I wanted the course record. Bold claim for someone who just got back on the bike, but I figured people usually did the triathlon at this race. 5am...
