Subject: RE: Minneapolis Duathlon : Official Thread My Wife and I raced in the MN Duathlon the last two years. Team Ortho did a great job with mile markers, having enough bike racks, water stops, and the multitude of volunteers to help with crowd control.
The river road (especially the last hill down was really rough with potholes and cracks. The transition area was huge.. and I ended up running across the rocky cracked parking lot in bare feet, only to forget where I had parked my shoes.. (Ya might Bring a marker.. a towel/tub or balloon). It was pretty warm last year.. I started early, but my friend (who is much faster than I) ended up leaving in a much later starting wave. Comparing finish times, I could tell the heat played more of a factor as the day went on. Good luck - Have fun! |
