Duathlon Round 3

One for the bikers, this weekend sees the series cover the Lough Key triathlon bike route and is also a good warm up for May's Boyle Fire & Rescue duathlon. It's close in all the Divisions so the bikers should be able to gain a bit of ground over the flat 2.5km run/ tough 23km cycle/ flat 2.5km run.

The weather is promised cold (~8 deg) with a headwind (~11 knot) coming back in the N4 to T2.

Round three kicks off on Sunday at 9:30am from the car park in Lough Key. Sign on from 8:30, closes 9:20. If you've never been in the park before, take the left at the Lough Key entrance on the left after the Boyle turnoff on the N4 Dublin road and follow the park road down to the car park (leave about 40 mins travelling from Sligo town). Any queries contact stcduathlons@gmail.com. As usual if there is anyone free to help out with marshalling it'd be greatly appreciated. Thanks to all who helped with the previous two Rounds, especially those who are not racing the series but still gave a dig out (marshall briefing is at 9:15).
