stewie911 Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 How technical is the run? Can I use normal road shoes. Don't feel like taking the trail shoes
stewie911 Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 Turned out to be not technical. Was a real nice race. Except for the heat and a bit of a late start, everthing else was great. Well organised, friendly officials and chilled out route. Really thinking of doing the other races as well. Time to do some brick sessions.
flex Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 Bleak to have missed this one, but couldn't make it.
Monty Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 I was out there rowing today. The event looked well marked out and looked good. What were the distances though?

Eldron Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 Twas a fine day out - mtb was a bit too tame to be considered a proper course but the second run sure made up for it - that 1.5km climb on overgrown jeep track had me stumbling around like a drunkard. Twas good catching up with some old hubbers and meeting THE legendary Nathrix!

nathrix Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 Was nice to meet the legendary Eldron as well That second trail run of 6km just killed me! People were staring at me today and pointed and laughed because I walked funny It was fun though, here's the route and profile for the Duathlon:http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-510zwcJeZ4Q/TVjVwAmmQ8I/AAAAAAAABWI/16DLg_A5AGQ/s1600/DuathlonRoodeplaat.jpg
stewie911 Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 Almost gave up halfway through the hill to walk a bit, but luckily found some energy to push through. Must have been that large pizza from saterday evening.
