The past year or two, I began doing duathlons. I have been in a total of 10 races. I have done well in these races, however, I wanted to start winning and competing at a higher level. That is when I started using Beachbody products.
I began using Insanity! What an awesome workout! It improved my cardio and endurance immensely. I started running 5ks and would not even be tired after them like I used to be. I decided to sign up for a duathlon that was coming up in about 3 weeks. I still had a month to go of Insanity, however, I felt I was well prepared for the race. My goal was not only to compete in the race, but it was to win my age division.
3 weeks flew by as I continued my Insanity workout! It was race time! I had to run 5k, cycle 15 miles, and finish with a 5k. There was a total of 100 participants and 15 in my age group! I started out strong with the first 5k averaging a 6:20 mile pace. Running was my strong suite and that's what I knew I had to take advantage of. I then went onto cycling and did average. I was in 5 place out of 100 after cycling. I wasn't sure if I was leading my age division or not going into the last 5k. I finished the last 5k with a pace of 7:15.
I wasn't positive on where I finished. I knew I had to be somewhere at the top! I waited for the results and I placed 1st in my age group and 4 overall. I was very happy with my performance and knew that I could not have done it without Insanity.
