Cinco “Du” Mayo Duathlon

Never done it before...but I keep saying "Oh, I might".  Between that and Lake Elmo the following week, though...I get a little tired of paying to ride on the raods I ride on every day :D

You DO get free tacos, though. And who doesn't love that?

I did the race a couple of years ago and it's a fine race.  I'm think of doing it this year, but I'm being lazy about signing up.  I kind of want to have a better idea of what the weather will be like.  The last time I raced it I had the wonderful experiance of getting hailed on while riding.  It's an experiance I would rather skip.

I've biked out here more than I'd like to admit. I am waiting for a weather report before I pull the trigger. I'd always do the short as who really wants to ride two loops of the same hilly course...the run is quick out and back with out being fully up hill for one mile and back being fully down hill for one mile. There will be tacos and if we're lucky an RV won't try to pull through transition to scuba dive during the race this year

It'll be my first chance to race in multi-sport race this season, so I'm hoping the weather holds (as of right now there's a high of 70 with no rain in the forecast.)

Forecasts have been all over the place.  Looks like a chance of rain but nothing guaranteed.  Last year it was supposed to rain all day and instead the sun came out and it was 75.  wound up with a sunburn.  LOL!

My thought is always I dont care about clouds but dont want it to rain.  Here's hoping......

lakelandsledder - 2012-05-02 11:01 AM Wife and I are signed up!  I may regret it but I signed up for the long course.  To all my fellow BT'ers I will have a white no lettering road bike and either a red 2XU trisuit or Green Voler trisuit and wife should have her Blue 2XU Trisuit and blue Trek Road Bike if anyone wants to say hi!

I'll look for you and say hi! I hope to be in a pretty unmistakeable pink shorts... Picked up my packet today! Can't wait to "gut out" this sprint!

I'll keep an eye out for you!  Planning on getting there about 7:45 to 8.  Staying at in-laws in Eau Claire tonight and leaving about 6ish in the morning.  I will have the red 2XU trisuit on.  Pray for decent weather.  Forecast is showing rain (60% chance) tonight and by 6AM only about a 20% chance.  Will pobably be cloudy.  Hope the roads aren't wet.
