organized Duathlon Training practices (also good for
triathletes). The

April 27th (if not raining). We will begin at
1:00 p.m. and all the others will be at 6:00

way to practice your transitions and is perfect training for those
looking to perform well in upcoming races. The run will be flat and the

A timer will be
present for those who want to keep track of their own results for
future reference and to track training progress in the subsequent
training events. Make
sure to show up ahead of the start time to get your transition area set up. Feel free to bring
post-training refreshments to enjoy after the
