BRAT Duathlon, 60.34 (Unofficial) ...2nd

Last chance of a hit out before next week so i was keen to give this a go and push that little harder to see what i could knock out at the BRAT Duathon (5k run/20 bike/2.5k run), Rolled up to find 'Team Sparks Number 1 PLOD in attendance again along with English Wannabe Eoin backing up from yesterdays Striders 10k. Also there was cycling hotshot and perhaps fastest guy on two wheels in the Eastern Suburbs Stewie (Computa) Campbell.
Despite racing yesterday i felt pretty good early and set a good early pace for the first 1k (3.16) settled a little after that and was happy to cross for the first 5ks in 16.50 (3.24s)
Jumped on the bike but knew it wouldn't be long before POD would fly past, and i think i held him for all of ONE lap as the usual high winds got up again around the course. Managed to hold out for best part of 8 laps before an even faster Computa came by and i just hoped he didn't put to much time into me over the last 2 laps before the final 2.5k run. Off the bike in around 34 mins, so another steady ride and set off in chase of Computa some 400m ahead. I saw POD coming back in the other direction heading for home as i caught 2nd spot just on the turn (1.25k) and kept the pace honest for the final couple of minutes to cross the line in 60.34  and a 8.30 last run (3.25 pace)
Bridesmaid again for 2nd spot for the 4th time of the season i think - although in fairness i will never beat POD as he is just so strong on the bike leg, but i do think i could give Robbie Neil a shake up now who beat me in the first two races of the season.
Beaut of a day down there and was good to chat with POD and Eoin after (even if they were talking $h!te) and looking to get a start from me for next weeks run,  :)
Will have to wait until the official results come through as they are not yet up on the website.

Eoin(aka The Leech) 4th, PLOD 1st , Timmy 2nd, and Stewie Computa 3rd after today's race.

Days Rest tomorrow
Cheers
