In case anyone’s interested, I’ve signed up for this series with Jamie. It used to be the Glentress Duathlon but has now been moved to Selkirk, to Bowhill House & Country Park. It consists of 3 duathlon races between December and February, a short, medium and a long. You can race solo, or as a relay team which is what we’ve chosen (Jamie doing the mountain biking and me the running).
It says it’s suitable for all abilities, so long as you bring a smile and a positive approach to mud!!
Sounds fun! Anyone interested? See here for details http://www.durtyevents.com/bowhill-duathlon-series.html
Susie, Andrea, Lisa and I did the short one earlier this year. A lot of fun, but was the more pleasurable becuase the running was before the cycling bit.
