I participated in my first race of the season on Saturday - the Tri-State Outfitters Spring Duathlon in Lewiston, Idaho. It's a 2-mile run, 12-mile bike ride, 2-mile run. The run course is along the Snake River; the ride is an out-and-back into the countryside south of Lewiston (lots of cows out there!).My time was 1:18:59 (last year 1:18:51). However, my transition times were actually each a minute faster - thanks to those no-tie shoe laces Geoff got me for Christmas! I was 3rd out of 5 in my age group, 84th out of 142 overall.
It was a good day - a very dicey forecast but the clouds broke for the race, closed in right afterward, and we drove through some hard rain & even hail on the drive home. The drive to/from Lewiston took us through the beautiful Washington Palouse - and reminded us we want to do a check-it-out thing in Dayton & Waitsburg in the future. Those are great little Washington towns. Dad/Opa
