1st Annual Swallow Cliff Duathlon

(Click Title for Pictures)

The 1st Annual Swallow Cliff Duathlon was a success!

What was it? An 8 mile, off-road trail loop with 500 feet of climbing on each loop. The duathlon was 8 Mile Run / 16 Mile Bike / 8 Mile Run. 32 miles total distance and 2,000 feet of climbing.

Why? Well, Spring has sprung. Next Sunday starts daylight savings time AND it is the first Sunday for our training rides. And, what better way to end a fun Winter of base-building trail runs, than with an epic event - a base tester. And what better way to do it than with good friends who also enjoy sick and twisted challenges.

That's why we're triathletes, right?

Thanks Dennis, Scott, Steve, Tom and Tom. You made it FUN! And next year you can say "this is my second year..."
