Sunday, October 3, 2010. In my age group at the. Was a great way to close out the season. It was in the low 90's throughout the day. The swim was against the current but mild.

I was fortunate enough to have a friend there and we watched the Elite. Nationals in the afternoon, then enjoyed beer and pizza with some of.

Melissa McKendry: Placed 2nd in Virginia Duathlon

http://melissamckendry.blogspot.com/2011/04/placed-2nd-in-virginia-duathlon.html

Friday, April 15, 2011. Placed 2nd in Virginia Duathlon. The start of the racing season is better than I could have hoped for. I placed second overall at the Virginia Duathlon. Yesterday, improving my bike and run time significantly. Dave Smith, my coach, recommended I start training in December instead of waiting until January and I think it was a great move. I was a bit nervous about this race season, I am going back to my favorite distance, 70.3, which increases my time overall time a bit.

Melissa McKendry: 8 Days to World Championships

http://melissamckendry.blogspot.com/2010/08/as-i-prepare-to-leave-for-world.html

Thursday, August 26, 2010. 8 Days to World Championships. As I prepare to leave for the World Championships in Scotland. I find that I need to keep reminding myself that the work is done. I have a few intense workouts prior to the race but I have put in the time and the biggest mistake I can make now is over training. We read about it in many triathlete magazines and blogs but it is easy to second guess your training and be tempted to throw in that extra bit of speed work. August 27, 2010 at 1:04 PM.

Starting at the bottom of a long steep winding hill. What goes up must come down! Cathy A...

http://melissamckendry.blogspot.com/2010/09/arrival-in-scotland.html

Wednesday, September 1, 2010. Incredibly, not only did Steven manage to travel nearly unscathed from some dark corner of the universe; he managed to do so while I was granted the misfortune of spending an additional unplanned evening in lovely New Jersey due to mechanical issues with the plane. While I was upset with the delay, I certainly appreciate the fine folks fixing the aircraft while it was safely on the ground. In my efforts to stick to the training schedule that Dave Smith.
