Toledo (through first 4 games opponents average 35.8 pts, today Michigan scored 10)
Today, I did the Spooky Sprint Duathlon on Belle Isle. My goal time for the race was 1 hour and 45 minutes. I exceeded my goal time by about 17 minutes. I was driving back home and was a little disappointed in my time, more so immediately after finishing than while driving. While driving it occurred to me that my goal was based on my last duathlon time of 1 hour 40 minutes. The difference between the two events is that my first duathlon was run 2 mi, bike 20k, and run 5k and this duathlon was run 5k, bike 20k, and run 5k. An extra mile was added to the first run but since I run 10 minute miles, at best, and not 5 minutes miles then my goal was ridiculous. I was still slower than I had hoped but I am also shorter than I had hoped, so whatever.
Notes on Belle Isle: Belle Isle is nice enough but MapQuest directed me through what I assume was Detroit after for the last 15 miles or so. On my way home, I realized that if I had stayed on I-94 for about 7 more miles then I could have come off the highway and gone on Jefferson and gone straight on to Belle Isle.
When I get my official splits I will do my post-mortem.

Way to go! It doesn't sound like you were too far off from the last one at all. How were the conditions? I guess I can wait for the post mortem. :)
