Training for Duathlon Nationals

One and a half months to go until Nationals.  My training is just fair due to lousy weather conditions and being limited to indoor riding.  I did get my bike out on the trainer this weekend and rode it for the first time this year. That felt good.  I just need to get outside on it though so I can feel like I'm regaining the ability to push hard under real riding and racing conditions.

Looking forward to USA Duathlon National Championship

Its been quite a while since I posted anything, but I'm stating to get excited about the 2019 Duathlon National Championships.  Last year sucked big time due to freezing temps, but hopefully the weather will be better this year.  Also, that was a very difficult time for me coming so soon after my mom passed away.  This year things are looking and feeling a little better. 
    Yesterday was the 2nd indoor tri and I felt good.  Looking to do some kind of hard bike-run combination workout in March as a prelude to Du Nationals. Likely I'll try riding to a 10 K or half-marathon, then riding home at a brisk pace to try and simulate race conditions.  Hopefully I'll also put in some very hard bike rides next month. That is what was lacking last year.
