Duathlon Worlds 2014...... EARLY!

[Jeepdude]

this is going to be interresting. World Champs was allready quite early this year happening next weekend. that really messed around our provinces if we consider KZN only had their provincial champs last weekend. ITU have dated next years worlds at 30May-1 June

makes me wonder how many athletes that are used to the Iron Man training then bounce back and follow up with the duathlon season. SA champs will have to be at least in March. when will our provinces manage their champs? slap bang in tri season

CGT had provincial dua champs a week after SA Tri champs in March, hence a fairly low turnout.

 

I did Ironman this year, and 3 weeks later we had SA duathlon champs, was a bit tough to get the speed up but the shorter race distance was great!

 

I'm racing Long Distance Dua World Champs in Sep, so just whipped out the IM training program (less the swimming) and started up again. The cold, early mornings are ...

 

I should be super strong or buggered by the start of the new season..

i think for the first time it should be really feasible for TSA to host seperate Olympic distance and long distance champs next year
