Catenary Coaching Virtual Duathlon – 5km Run & 20km Bike TT

I went into my first weekend as a Catenary athlete excited to tackle the virtual duathlon. After a long week of training I had tired legs going into Saturday’s 5km, and the hot temperature of 25C made it feel even harder, but I achieved a time of 24:57 which a few months ago I wouldn’t have thought possible! The 20km ride came on Sunday, again with hot weather, strong winds and a hilly outdoor course through Devon. I decided to focus on enjoying the race rather than aim for a PB and completed the there-and-back course in 57 minutes – definitely something to improve on but pleased with nonetheless! Overall it was a great Bank Holiday weekend of racing and has increased my motivation to train for future races in the Autumn.
