STR Early Season Race

Vinnie and I both PR'ed in our first ever DU. The skies opened up the morning of the Willow Du with pouring rain, hail, and 40+ mph winds, but the weather cleared up (some what) for the race. We started out too fast on the run and both PR'ed our 5k times. Vinnie had a strong bike on his new ride. We battled through the strong winds to get to the the second 5k where vinnie put the hammer down to have a 4th place in the big kids division finish and I held down for 6th place. The Duathlon is a great way to get an early season race to get ready for the tri season or a great way to try something new if you are not a swimmer.
