Last year was my first year. 5 off road sprints, 1 sprint, and 1 Olympic. They all went the same, pretty much: Back of the pack on the swim, middle of the pack on the bike, front of the pack on the run. I was top 25% in those races overall, thanks to relying heavily on the run. I've improved in all three over the fall and winter.
Oh, I've also done a bunch of duathlons, so I wasn't totally new to multisport racing.
Levered and winched a big-assed limestone boulder up a hill. Did some housework. Hauled some scrap metal. Set a small fire in a brush patch, then hauled out various trash revealed by the fire (ancient streamside dump). Rode with @Bunnista and Ruby. Some doubletrack, some singletrack, stream crossings on thin ice, bumbling around on a few miles of wooded sidehill with no trail at all and a bunch of blowdown. Downhill on ice, jumping water bars. Drinking heady.
