aerobars and aero helmets, whatever gets you over the finish line fastest I guess! I am definitely up for doing the Firm Man course. I am planning to go one of the next few weekends.

Aerobars at the Beachside Boogie? I haven't been there in years, but times have changed I guess. Glad to see the good results from the HEAT team. So.....any interest in a road trip up to ride the Firmman bike course?

The Boogie is always a fun time, a great way to start the season. I started out pretty strong (for me anyway) with a 12:01 (9th) and knew I'd get passed by a lot of those mountain bikers. I too had never seen (or even thought of) aero bars/helmets on mountain bikes. Weird. Little did I know I'd be getting passed by a LOT of them - my rear tire went down to maybe a third or a quarter of its proper size. It was still fun and everything, but man the ride was like riding in concrete. Dave...

Ive never done a duathlon before and it HURT! Id much rather start a race with a swim than an all out effort on the run after getting there 15 mins before the race and not being properly prepared! I had one of my best runs ever to start though going 12:12 and hopping onto the bike and went hard the whole way and saw alot of people with aerobars and aero helmets (whats up with that?). I finished the bike in 35 mins and was in 5th place running pretty good until I was hit hard by stomach issues...

Tough conditions for this race! Cold and windy meant too many layers at the start. I ran in HEAT shorts but overheated with a long top and bike jersey. I was with Dave off the bike and stayed close till he got thawed about a half mile in. I went slower while he went faster and he finished very strong. Doug had a great run, but had a slow leak and was riding on a soft pillow by the end of the bike. It's tough enough with fat tires and wind, but a soft tire just killed him. This is always a...

This was my first time doing this race. The weather report was for temps in the 40's so I was unsure of how to dress. I wore my HEAT shorts but I'm glad I decided to bring along my tights because when I got to Hammonassett is was windy. I ended up putting my tights on under my shorts. I was also not sure how my run splits would be since I hardly ever do duathlons. My first run went well, I felt good while not going all out...

You guys rock! Saw at least 9 HEAT names in the results with 6 AGE group results.

Nice job! Roy (3rd AG), Evan (1st), Dave, Dean (1st), Doug, Ken, Sarah (1st), Karen (3rd), Janit (2nd).

Race Report?

I'll be there. Not looking forward to the cool morning temps, but I'm liking the flat course. David

Anyone else planning or signed up for this 2008 multisport season kickoff? Sunday April 6th.

Historically cooler temperatures because of the morning start, but a nice flat cource. Will be my last speed workout before Boston.
