This week, I toned down my workouts in preparation for my race on Saturday, my first duathlon. I did a lot of yoga, practiced transitions, and did a couple of easy bikes and runs. I was supposed to take it easy on Friday and just go to yoga, but I wanted to go hiking with my aunt! We ran a couple miles at an easy pace, but hiked most of the route.
My race on Saturday was great! I will try to post my race recap later today, so stay tuned. Let's just say I did better than I expected :) After the race, my family and I went to DC to see the cherry blossoms, so I ended up walking around all day. My legs felt okay, but at the end of the day, I was exhausted!
Sunday morning, the weather was beautiful and I couldn't pass it up; I wanted to be out there on my bike! I had the full intention of going for an easy recovery ride, but my legs just wanted to go hard. They were feeling a bit fatigued from the day before, but I still managed to feel strong throughout the ride. Thanks, legs, for being awesome.

I really love to work out on vacation and find that I always have a better time when I do...but if I don't get up first thing and get the workout in right away, I find its a lot less likely to happen :)
I didn't have a race this weekend, but have a half-marathon next Saturday as a mid-point training run for the marathon in June...I can't wait!!!!

Good luck with your half marathon next Saturday! I wish I could race that distance this season, but I don't have the time :(
