Duathlon Training

Greetings,

I'm in the planning stages of training for a Duathlon race in the end of May. Its a 5K run, 25K ride, and 5K run at the end.  I'm already doing a mix of rides and runs, so I feel its time to blend the two together and train for a race.

The training will be similar to a triathlon race I did twice in 2004 and 2005, as the distances are similar to that for the bike (it was 12 miles in the tri) and a 5K at the end. It will be interesting to see how it goes.

I know I'd have to get my fastest bike back in order.  Its been a while since I've ridden that bike, but I can handle 20+ mph on it pretty well.

The last few days I've been doing some fat biking, once on Sunday and once on Tuesday. Monday was a wild day for running, as there were 45+ mph gusts of wind that day.  It was wild going into it, and felt like someone pulling you when it was behind you.

Overall, the bike rides and running will have to amp up a bit and do some double workouts on the weekend to get used to both.

I got my OG King of Coffee in, and it tastes better than Black Gourmet.  BG still tastes good, but King of Coffee is pretty darn bold. It does cost a bit more, so in comparison, I'd probably stick with Black Gourmet in the sachets for a quick cup at work.  It costs less overall and has a pretty comparable taste.  It all depends on what you like in your coffee.

I also got my Black Gold in BrewKup form, that is definitely in my top 3 from OG.  I like the Royal Blend of Jamaican coffee as my favorite, Black Gold is #2. Black Gourmet is #3.
