  • Comments: Gear West Du is a very popular race on the local calendar. Shop owner Kevin O'Connor really puts in a lot of effort to make this a great race. The gear raffles at the end are awesome but we walked away empty-handed. Only 6 days until Apple Duathlon - World Short Course Du Championship qualifier.

  • Comments: Stayed for the raffle which took a looooong time after the awards. I don't know why I bother, I never win anything :) Raced for 2 hours and stood around for 1.5! Think of how long the fast people hung around. This is a challenging race which draws a fast, tight, tri/du crowd in an area where a lot of people are used to training in. It's totally different from a small local event, or the Irongirl Du which attracts a lot of first-timers. So it's nice to do well at events with a less elite crowd, it's probably a good idea to take on a challenge occasionally.
