NSV: Duathlon 2020 ✅ ....at 63, fitter than ever before!
YAY, I did it.....
4k run
18.5k bike ride
4k run
The Rempstone Roast Virtual Duathlon ✅
In 2019 I couldn’t do the Rempstone Roast Off Road Duathlon, because of my rib and knee injuries. Then this year I had already given up on the idea of doing it, as Covid obviously got in the way. However, three weeks ago, this Virtual Duathlon was announced! My first thought: “Not much time to practise, but YES, I am so going to do it!”
During my second run (which felt more like 10k than 4k, with legs of lead)... I realised: I couldn’t have done this at 53, 43, 33 or 23...... what a wonderful thought!!! It feels so good to be this fit!
The Christmas attire made me feel like a right idiot, but especially during my second run it brought smiles to people’s faces and lots of “merry Christmas” wishes!
Hubby was my support crew, taking pics, giving me water and dates in the transitions AND giving me his medal from last year after I finished.... mine will hopefully come in the post this week! The bottom left pic: I actually shouted “I did it!” when I finished!
