Duathlon (CHECK!)

Yesterday, I got a text from Bailey asking me to take someone's place in a duathlon today, so of course I said yes.  A free race, why not?  One of the mom's that she babysits for and her friend both got sick and couldn't do it.  It was crazy fun, but SO HARD!  2.5 mile run, 12 mile bike, 2.5 mile run all before 10am.  I'll be real.

Setting my alarm for 4am on a weekend was NOT cool.  I even had to drink a cup of coffee on the way to the race; it was one of those days, but getting to chat with Bails in the car also made the 45 minute drive to Lakeville at 5:30am worth it.

In all reality we couldn't have asked for a better day, it was 70 degrees and sunny, but we did have lots of wind...we can't seem to catch a break of biking in the wind. Maybe next race we'll get lucky?  The location was great, Lifetime fitness sure knows how to put on a great event.  This was an Esprit de She race, so all ladies.  It was nice to do a girls-only race because it brought out a lot of people that may have been hesitant to do a race before.  Everyone was so inviting and motivating that although it was a challenge we had smiles on the entire time.  I am looking forward to doing another of their events this fall (hopefully)!

Happy classic pre-race pic! 

 WE CRUSHED IT! 

I'm so glad Bailey asked me to do this with her.  Now we've officially crossed two different races off the bucket list in less than a month. We are officially off our rockers. :) 

Until tomorrow,
