  • Comments: If I could give this race a 4.5 or 4.something, I would. Compared to Bath Co Tri a month ago, Danny and Suzy Serpico and the entire Ripit Events team certainly did treat all the athletes right: finishing medal, AG medals and awards, water and other refreshments! I highly recommend this event to new and experienced duathletes alike - nice run and bike courses, not too much traffic, not too difficult, well-marked, adequate parking, enough bathroom facilities, plenty of volunteers, and good amenities for the athletes! Western Regional Park and the surrounding communities make this a near perfect location for such an event! I will probably put it on my race list for next year! Post race notes: Due to my foot injury, I bowed out of the Hagerstown Sprint that I was to be in the next week. Volunteered instead. I also had my foot X-rayed and examined...no stress fractures. Soft tissue damage and stayed off it until AG Nationals on Aug 10. More on that in a separate race report.

  • Comments: Duathlons are normally small affairs that are consigned to the spring/fall months when lakes are too cold to swim in, so it's nice to have an event that falls in the summer and attracts an unusually large crowd. And this one was very well organized. Is it possible that duathlons would be struggling less if they were more spread throughout the year?

  • Comments: This was a great race! It was my first Du, so I wasn't sure what to expect. The race was very well organized, and tons of fun. I'd highly reccomend it.

  • Comments: Why did I do this race? The only leg of a triathlon I am actually good at is swimming. Maybe I was trying to challenge myself. Maybe it was just that it was so close to home. Or maybe I am stupid. Fun race and well organized, but not really my cup of tea with so much running.
