Race Recognition- Duathlete Amanda D.

Paul McRae — Thu, 23 Jun 2011 14:11:25 +0000

In a real effort to try and promote PRS athletes more and give them recognition we are going to really try and promote success’ where possible. So if you have a photo or a blurb about a race, your accomplishment etc forward them on to me and we’ll give you the recognition you deserve.

Below is an email from PRS’ Georgia Duathlete Amanda with some awesome pics. Thanks again Amanda. Great Job!

Hi Paul,

I competed in the Savannah Triathlon/Duathlon on Saturday. The duathlon was run 1mile, bike 13.1miles, run 3.1miles.

My time was 1:21:06 and I was third female overall in the duathlon. I was not completely happy with my bike time. My break scrubbed on the bike…stopped once to adjust and the stopped a second time to complete open the break. I was a little irritated but will remind myself to check EVERYTHING on the bike before my next event. The training is really helping.

Thanks

Amanda
