Sunday the 11th of April 2010 can be remembered as the day Catrin Gwen Ford was baptised at St Mary Church in Walkern. The day was fantasitic and we were lucky with the weather as the children could play in the sun. The morning started with my first duathlon race of the season – The Big Cow Emberton Duathlon 2010. An early start as I had to leave the house by 6am to arrive the event and was lucky enough to be able to pay on the day. My performance on the day was mixed.
It was a bit wet but why am I holding the handle bars !
The run was exceptional and I felt very controlled in 36:30 for 10k, however, the bike was a different story as I suffered cramp at around the 30k mark. This caused me to slow to strech and then ride in a lower gear with a higher cadance. The final run was controlled as I didn’t want a re-occurance of the cramp. But that also didn’t stop a little sprint finish, just a shame that the other competitor had a 2 min lead as he started in the next wave. Below are my results for the day
