As a triathlete this was my first duathlon, off road none the less, great event, will certainly be back next year.

Took this whole event for granted, did 6 hours on my road bike the day before, depleted all glycogen stores – result……bonked massivly on the run, thanks to the kind marshals that donated an apple, a twix and warm cup of blackcurrant juice to me

Yep, it rocked! I had a great time and really enjoyed it. And you are right about some of the less-mountain bike oriented folk. The red route at Whinlatter’s about the limit of my riding skills currently and I was catching folk who were less confident/capable than me – two guys I caught weren’t really happy about some of the course judging by their swearing! In terms of technicality the bike leg was much harder than the run (I run off road ass well as bike) although the 4000 foot of ascent made everything that little bit harder! Good effort from the organisers especially as the first event of its kind there. Hope to see it back next year.
