Duathlon

Sometimes I am wondering why I am so stupid. Especially, so stupid to try to participate in different races. Recently I got this idea that biking + running (=duathlon) might be a good idea. It may push my physical limits.

Well, I was right. I severely underestimated biking part. 700m of ascent does not seem to be a big deal, except that 700m of ascent on unpaved road is ... hell. And even when I really tried (and my heart rate suggests that I tried), I was very slow. But the real bonus was running. After being completely flattened out during the biking, I was unable to run. It was just impossible. I just walked all uphill parts.

In total, it was a devastating experience. But one thing still bugs me -- with this perfect speed, how did I manage not to be the last? (I was the second last :-))
