Next Sunday sees the final duathlon in the training series and it's going to be a test of intestinal fortitude!
The race begins in front of the car park at the foot of the Knocknarae climb and run 1 involves descending to the foot of the glen road and climbing back to T1 at the car park. This is a distance of just under 5k, and although difficult should be within the capabilities of all competitors (take your time, the race gets easier! -the nature of the game is an endurance challenge so the main event is each competitor getting round the course).
The bike leg sees riders descending down towards Sligo to Woodville, left to the Strandhill road and looping round the mountain to Ransboro and climbing back up to T2 at the car park.
The final run leg is an easy FLAT 2k run to the first lay by at the top of the climb and back.
Click Here for a preview of the course: Please note the junctions which are straight through (with competitors having right of way), as with the Boyle leg do not turn left unless directed by a marshall.
Sign on opens at 8:15am and closes at 8:50am. If anyone is free to bring out a mountain bike to act as a run sweep and encourage the athletes through the tricky first run leg contact stcduathlons@gmail.com. As is always the case if anyone is free to give a hand on the day it'd be appreciated.
