Homemade Duathlon

Exercise this week has been lacking, as I said last night work has been kicking my butt a bit so I have not been on the bike or running as much as I would like.  While at work I was thinking of runs and bike rides I could this weekend.  I thought about doing a bike ride in the morning and then running in the afternoon but quickly cancelled that idea because I have a wife and would like to be with her.  I then thought why not do both in the morning so I have the rest of the day to have fun.

I thought back to the Duathlon (I thought it was biathlon but Google and duathlon specialists quickly said that they don't have skis or a gun so it is known as a duathlon) that I unintentionally interrupted back in September.  I decided I would make my own Duathlon course to get my running and cycling training in.  Duathlons consist of a three mile run, a twenty mile bike ride and finish with another three mile run.  Below are the maps for each stage of my training.

To be perfectly honest I don't know what I'm getting myself in to!!!  After a slow week workout wise tomorrow will either tell me, don't worry it is ok to take some time off because I'm fit, or during the second run I will feel like garbage and be pissed with how my training went.  My goal is to finish in under two hours, that would mean a nine minute pace while running and just around twenty miles per hour on the bike.  I'm expecting a time of one hour and fifty minutes.  I'm excited for tomorrow and hope that all goes well!!!
