Du Review!

I decided that I am going to train for a duathlon that takes place on May 2nd. My dad is going to let me borrow his old racing bike since he has a brand new one. Today I went to the gym and had my own mini duathlon to see what it feels like. I ran 2 miles on the track, biked 8 miles on the stationary bike and ran 2 miles on the track. I felt good and really enjoyed the work out. I did end up having some knee pain though when transitioning from the bike to the run. I don't think it was caused from the bike though. I have experienced this pain over the past couple weeks when I run. I am going to see a sport medicine doctor about it since I soon begin training for my first trail half marathon. I won't stop with my running, but I may need to slow down the pace in the meantime.
