Subject: RE: Gravenhurstsbr7 - 2010-07-20 7:45 AM Did anyone do the Duathalon in 2009 and 2010? There is a large difference in times, when looking at the 2 years. What were the conditions like in 2009/did they change the course at all? I did the Tri in 2009, my buddy did the Du. In 2009, the event was a qualifier for the Age Group World Championships and the number of places given out per age group was 5 or something crazy like that. This year, only 1 spot per age group was given. As far as I know, the course did not change. I think there was probably very little difference in road conditions and weather conditions from 2009 to 2010 as well (I remember it being a cool morning, but hot later in the morning and mid-day ). I am guessing that 2009 just got a lot more top Age Groupers participating since there were more spots available for the world championships. The bike averages might be 1km/hr slower from 2010 compared to 2009 (perhaps due to wind conditions ), so that would change the over times by about 2min at most. |
