LakeLand Duathlon at Mattoon IL

Great Race and it sucks that you missed it.  The course was nicely paved, very quiet country roads with almost no traffic.  The race director likes to keep it very simple.  Don't expect bib numbers or any fancy race packet.  See the idea here is to show up and kick ass.  Race itself is not easy.  The winds this year were brutal and you had to be crazy if you put your overpaid dicks on.  I had a solid 6 weeks of training in me prepared especially for me by my dear coach Thomas Estka so the only thing I was scared of was getting an unexpected flat.  But none of it happened and 2 hours and some change later I was sipping a hot chocolate and eating pizza.  Yes, my friends, this race should be on your list and expect me there next year looking to kick your butt.
