Duathalon

This Sunday I will be participating in a local duathalon event. Not to be confused with a biatholon (pictured). I will NOT be carrying a rifle and shooting at targets along the course. I will, however, be running and mountain biking through the beautiful American River Canyon. With a few good rains, the trail conditions are perfect. The ground has nice give to it and the gritty dust been dampened down (not muddy at all) allowing for more control on the bike by diminishing the slide effect.

It is important to note that I will be participating (not racing) in an event (not a race). Although, I anticipate the enthusiasm will kick in and "race pace" will inevitably take over. This makes me nervous about maintaining good energy levels -- any suggestions sports fans?
