Race Day! Dunham Massey Duathlon!

This video covers the first of 2 duathlon training races as I prepare for the European Sprint Duathlon Champs in Portugal. This event was the Dunham Massey Sprint Duathlon encomassing a 5K run, 22K bike and 2.7K run to finish. The weather was great and it was most enjoyable. Join me on the run/bike/run journey of training, racing and all the other aspects needed to get the best out of an aging creaky body!

Great work!!

[@sagsdothedu]

Thanks Joe! Let’s hope for similar weather at Oulton Park later in the year😎. I reckon the Dunham course is better than the Weston Park off road stuff 🧐

Great race Mark, I've done that duathon 3 times.

[@sagsdothedu]

Yeah I like it - apart from the opening stretch of moon crater roads 😬

Crikey! I wish I could have an on day at that pace, nae mind off day 😂 I've had the stomach flutters nearly every race warm-up this year, especially Oulton Park. Been OK in race though

[@sagsdothedu]

[@sagsdothedu]

I certainly enjoyed it Stu, thanks. And out that off 10k race down to digestion!

Well done glad your build is going well and you’re feeling good. Shoes on or off the bike, is always a debate we have and I believe it depends like most things how much you practice and get slick at it. Like you said in the heat of a race it can all go to cock anyway😂😂

Cheers Rich. Picking up some new tri bike shoes today! Will give the shoes clipped in another go. Maybe as you say I just need to be better at it 😬
