316 - Powerman Zofingen Duathlon - Deirdre Hassett

Deirdre raced at Powerman Zofingen as part of Team Ireland (her home country, though she is based in California). This was a bucket list race for her as swimming is the weakest of her triathlon disciplines and she loves longer races - the hillier and harder the better. Afterwards her assessment was that Powerman is the most difficult multisport event she has done, mostly due to the combination of the two difficult runs and the climbing on the bike. Stacked on that was the challenge of the bad weather this year. Tougher than Kona? Quite possibly. Despite some poor transitions which cost her second place AG, she was delighted with the execution of her race and her result on the day.-Weather that day: 50Water Temperature: 0Age Group: F40-44Height: 5'3"Weight: 125Calories per hour: 300Nutrition Company used: Skratch and Honey StingerDepth of Wheels: Hed (Disk back), 60mm frontPSI for this course: 85Bike Elevation Gain: 6,000ftRun Elevation Gain: 1200ftT1: 3:13Bike: 4:59T2: 4:14Run: 2:32:01Total Race Time: 8:27Division Rank: 3Overall Rank: 13-Follow Deidre,Instagram: @deehasit-Sponsors:Team Zoot 2019-Follow Coach Terry:Instagram: @PerfectRacePodcast
