travisza Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 Anyone doing this / done this race before? Any good? Any advice? Whats the course like?
kevin Walter Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 The mtb part of it will be very easy, maybe a little soft sand but mostly chilled single track and dirt roads. Its really good fun and not that tough, if you are extremely unfit you will be able to complete the 2.5/15/2.5 but if you are reasonably fit its easy and you should o the longer one. Really good day out!
travisza Posted May 27, 2013 Author Posted May 27, 2013 Sweet, thanks. I had foolishly already entered the long one before asking this question so glad you havent posted a horror story about how badly organised this race is
Vinnydabutcher Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 Also hoping to make a cameo there. See you boys in transition!
travisza Posted May 27, 2013 Author Posted May 27, 2013 100% - first duathlon. Not sure what I'm going to do without a swim to warmup for the bike. Plan is to take the first run ridiculously slow
Witkop Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 planning to go, @Rabubi how is the training going? Are we going to have a hubbers get together in Ottawa?
bospiet Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 My first duathlon 2 looking forward to it. Quick question thou, if one does not have triathlon clothing will running cloths work for the ride?
Agteros Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 (edited) Ideal race for sandals and single speed, rather than one of the momentum series event? edit: damn it is part of the Momentum series Edited May 27, 2013 by agteros
RABUBI Posted May 28, 2013 Posted May 28, 2013 Witkop, No not going. Was a bit short notice and to be honest I almost kakked myself when I saw how much it will cost through TSA vs. if I organised everything myself (option not allowed). So hopefully in a year or so the rand recovers and they decide to have the event in somewhere less expensive
RABUBI Posted May 28, 2013 Posted May 28, 2013 My first duathlon 2 looking forward to it. Quick question thou, if one does not have triathlon clothing will running cloths work for the ride? Normal cycling kit will be fine, you can run and bike with it
