Yesterday my Dad and I participated in our first event of the season...the Paper Discovery Duathlon down in Neenah, Wisconsin. It turned out to be a beautiful morning minus the strong winds.

A duathlon is a biking/running event. At this event I ran 2 miles, my Dad biked 19 miles, and then I ran another 2 miles to finish us up. Each duathlon has its own lengths of running and biking. For example last October we participated in the Green Bay Duathlon and I ran 3 miles, Dad biked 39(?), and then I ran 1 mile. Many people also do this event by themselves (not on a relay team).

| All done! |
We ended up finishing 19th out of 79 relay teams with a total time of 1 hour 37 minutes and 17 seconds. You did a great job Dad and I am proud to be your duathlon partner! Can't wait for our next event together!!!
