Brent and I did a duathlon relay. I ran 2 miles, he biked about 26-27, and I ran 4 more.  My two mile splits were 6:41 and 6:55. During the 4 miler I didn't get my splits but I ran 28:27, and my last mile was 7:01. I accidentally went out really slow (7:30ish?) because of all of the duathletes being slow and tired from their bike, and I had a hard time figuring out my pace. It was hot and hilly, so I am happy with my time. I have a long way to go, but this wasn't as embarassing as I thought it was going to be. We got first place coed relay, 2nd overall. Not bad!
