The medium length race of the Bowhill Duathalon took place yesterday in somewhat wet conditions after a morning of heavy rain and snow. Thankfully, the estate had been out clearing fallen trees to make the route fully rideable and runnable, even if most of the tracks were flooded and more like streams.
132 braved the mornings murky start and top marks go to Roy and Jessie Dahl in the relay team again who came first again and are heading for a hatrick of firsts. Jessie ran in the Devil’s Burden yesterday and at the transit area, managed to not lose time while swapping a bike for two small children. I managed to improve my time again and upped my placing to 25th and sitting 5th in the MV over the two races. Next time, I am not going to waste 90 secs in transition (4 places) changing shoes, especially now I realise that transition time counts!!
