Duathlon at Parramatta Park

My first ever duathlon so i was a bit nervous about the
whole thing. Especially the transitions. I did end up
losing a third place probaly in this area. But anyway
enough of a whinge. I started at the back of the group
of about 40. I moved past quickly into second. I was
running with the leader but decided to back of a bit
cause i wasn't sure of what was to come. Anyway ran a
14:09 4km split and it felt very easy. So hoped on my
bike and once i figured out which was to go was off.
I did 50+ kph on the slight down hill corner. I slowed
and settled into about 38kph on the flat. I was gradually
caught and passed and by the end was back in 6th. Straight
of the bike i passed soemone. I then after a few hundred
meters started pulling back time on people. Withj about
a km to go i got site of 3rd who was still a long way away.
I could see he was more cyclist then runner and i was closing
a lot. But i ran out of tiem and ended up being beaten by
a few seconds. The time i lost trying to figure out which
way to go in transition. But anyway for my first i was very
pleased and i think i wil have another go sometime.
