Cambridge duathlon and update

My update, Training and racing in march and april has been going brilliant,i have been hitting 400km cycling,45 miles running and 6000 mts swim with one weight session in the gym for all over conditioning,i am trying to get lots of consistency into training ,With hitting big mileage every week and i feel this working very well ,My body seems to be able to cope with this high volume.
Right now onto the racing part, I took part in the cambridge duathlon today 20/4/08 and this race was brilliant,i settled into a good pace on the first run and came in 6th and then on the bike i made up another 2 places , i felt really strong on the bike which was windy and rainy, on the second run i soon settled into a good pace again, The guys in front were too far in front to catch so it was about maintaining my position which i did and in my second duathlon of the season i finished in 4th overall and 3rd in my age group,the best thing is that the guys who finished in front of me are all short course athletes so they have that raw speed,but overall i am happy with my performance and the way things are progressing with 9 weeks left till nice.next race on the cards is Stratford marathon on the 27/4/08 looking for a sub 3 hour to get an automatic good for age spot at london next year 2009.
I will blog again soon with pictures and official results.thank you for your continued support.
