New - Minneapolis Duathlon

I saw this show up on the schedule a couple months ago. Not much info on their site. I will be curious to see where they put this. 18 miles of 'urban' riding is, like, 3 or 4 laps around downtown, isn't it? Or maybe it is 40 laps around the dome.

Sounds like an interesting endish-of-season option. Pretty ambitious of them to be set up for 1200 participants for a du.

I agree - sounds kind of scary!  But exciting   They do a course downtown for the Great River Energy's Nature Valley Grand Prix.  Wonder if I should be practicing cornering.  My hope is they will send people on the river road.

That is true, I just looked at the web site with the new route.  Seems even crazier than having it downtown.  I hope I can watch.

I know - I hate those dumb t-shirts.  I have a giant bin and I never wear any of them, even though I am usually lucky enough to get a medium.  I am not shaped like a dude!  They are not cute.

You should definitely sign up.

Slahmmer - 2009-04-29 2:10 PM I heard the Nature Valley Grand Prix course is moving to Uptown! I might sign up for this duathlon, sounds like a lot of fun and I like the idea of a race entry fee of only 65. Since they are giving away backpacks there is no way they will run out of smalls and I'll have yet another xl race tshirt
