First Race Done!

The Stokesley Duathlon last Sunday was a great start to the season. It was 5km/30km/5km in very windy conditions and with about 270 entrants. I had a pretty good race, finishing 16th overall but managed to bag 2nd Vet! The dissapointment of officially becoming an 'old git' was somewhat offset by receiving a prize of a £25 gift voucher! Hoorah!
I also managed to get through the race with both calves fully intact! Not even a twinge! However, I did start to get quite a bit of cramp in both quads at the end of the second run and they still feel a little sore today.
Since Sunday its just been a 45 min recovery ride on Monday, and this morning I did a 45 min treadmill run followed by 20 mins of core work.
Now its back to business...up that mileage!
