Official Photos from the Apple Duathlon

Or, "How NOT to Dismount Your Bike."

Ten days ago was the Apple Duathlon. (Click here for my race report.) I went through the photos from Minnefota Moments and found some of Matt and I at work:

My wave starting (I'm next to the guy in white)


Matt starting in his wave 3 minutes later


Running in 2nd in my wave, soon to be passed by the guy behind me


Matt in the first run


I took a wrong turn in T1 and had to loop back around

Allow my friend Chad to show you how to dismount and head into T2. These 2 photos show him out of his bike shoes all ready to hop off his bike and smoothly run into transition:

Now allow me to show you how NOT to dismount and head into T2. If at any point during a triathlon or duathlon you look like this, you're doing something wrong:

I look so dainty. Super.

And here are a few from the finish:

Final kick

If baby doesn't make an appearance in the next couple of days, I'll be racing the Liberty Triathlon on Saturday! So it will either be a "race weekend" or a "get to meet our baby weekend!"
