Victoria’s Duathlon

Great race! Excellent test of fitness after a winter of spinning indoors and subdued running. Have been racing this for 3 years in a row, they changed the bike course this year from the south side of Bamburg to the north side, cross wind was unforgiving since it’s a direct out and back instead of a box. A very straight forward, short test of peak power / speed.

Very hot this year, hydration before and after a race can be more of a determining factor in this race.

I have completed this race 5 or 6 times. It has changed in distance and course since I first entered 10 or so years ago. The run is an out-and-back course and a couple of hills always seem to make it surprisingly challenging. The bike course contains numerous hills and 5 or so sizable hills that present a challenge. It is a well-run event and is well organized. I definitely recommend this race for any level of athlete particularly after a long winter.
