Just a reminder about a few upcoming duathlons. First and foremost, the AB&T Sprint Duathlon is this Sunday (Mother's Day) May 11, 7:30 a.m., at John’s Island high school. The distances are 2 mile run, 14 mile bike, 2 mile run. If you haven't already registered, you can do so at Active.com. The reg fee is $45, plus Active's $3 processing fee.
This year's Rock N' Roll Half Ironman in Macon (May 31) offers a duathlon event as well. Instead of the 1.2 mile swim, you can opt for a 3 mile run, then it's back on course with the other athletes for the 56 mile bike, 13.1 mile run. If you do this race, I recommend you review the elevation graph provided. The bike course is super hilly.
The 3rd Annual Powerade Tri The Rock Triathlon/Duathlon is Saturday, May 17, in Rock Hill. The distances for the duathlon are 1 mile run, 17 mile bike, 3 mile run. This race is being done in conjunction with a sprint triathlon, which consists of a 500 yard pool swim, 17 mile bike, 3 mile run. For more info, check out this site: http://www.therocktriclub.com/
While I was on that site, I found a list of other sprint tris, most of which I hadn't seen, and the ones I had, I didn't know they were part of an upstate sprint series. The Rock Hill Tri Club is sponsored by the YMCA, and puts on a series of USAT sanctioned races.
