Caterpillar Never done one of these before. Should be a laugh. Expecting: 21 mins for the first 5k. 10k cycle in (wild guess) 30 mins. Second 5k in 24 mins. Makes 75 mins. [Afterwards:] What a lovely day! Official via text message: Run 1- 20:09 Bike- 23:33 Run2- 19:43. Total 1:05:30 ******** Position - 16!!!!!!!!! Blinking flip! ******* It didn't feel too hard either except the first ten minutes after getting off the bike and onto the legs. Well done me! Great support from Shiraz and Hollywood - thanks guys! Unaffiliated 1:15:00 1:05:34 92.38
Lalli What a fabulous event. I really enjoyed this. Well organised, great atmosphere and six of us Fetchites doing the fun distance, so what could have been fairly lonely, was quite the opposite. And well done to Greg doing the Challenge course! It was warm, but the cycle session in the middle was so exhilarating, with the wind cooling things down stopped me overheating. Went into transition to the final run session on a complete high! Will definitely do this again - maybe the Challenge distance next year. Thanks to Puffing Bertie, Old Uncle Bob, Toks, Tappers and Caterpillar - how we all managed to be allocated start times within 5 minutes of each other I don't know. Thanks also to Greg, Mrs Greg, Hollywood and Shiraz for cheering us on (and forcing a sprint from us all at the end!) Eastbourne Rovers AC 1:45:00 1:31:36 70.32
podrunner This was the first Duathlon i had completed and finished 8th female. 22.39 for 1st run. T1 was 02.08. Bike was 24.21. T2 was 00.37 and 2nd run was 21.17 Chorley Athletics and Triathlon Club 1:11:05 86.52
Puffing Bertie That was very hard but fun, I can say that now I have sat down and had a coke!!! Unaffiliated 1:37:00 66.40
Tappers well not bad seeing as though I had the squits real bad and it was hot. My energy disappeared in the end. But a good experience. Got my results I was 46th, with 22.18 first run, 23:47 Bike and then 22:19 second run, amazed 2nd run was same as first! Walton AC 1:05:00 1:11:01 78.85
Toks The most challenging event so far for me, very hot and i found the bike leg quite long but enjoyable and it was nice to see fellow fetchies after resting a bit, maybe i would do this event again!!! Can't believe i did it, i did, i did, i did!!! FERC 2:09:02 47.88
