Gold Standard Duathlon

I've always held a sub-53 duathlon as the gold standard (for me). If I can do 2-15-4 in under 53 minutes, I know I'm getting close to my best. Well, two weeks in a row now, I've hit that mark. A 52:57, followed by a 52:58 last night. I'm just squeeking in but, I'm getting it in!

Last night's bike was pretty good even though the wind was all over the place. I felt good on the second run until the last 1.25Kms when I got all cramped up.
