G’day All,

On Sunday October 6th the 2013 City of Armadale Duathlon, WA’s Premier (and only) Duathlon Event will take place. It will also include the Australian Duathlon Championship! In fact, the event is a qualifying race for the Australian Team for the 2014 World Duathlon Championships. Pretty impressive!

So what’s a Duathlon? To borrow from the official City of Armadale Duathlon web page, “Duathlon consists of a run leg, followed by a bike section, before finishing with a final run.”

There are a couple of different distances to choose from and team entries are also very popular. There’s even The Sunday Times Chillout for “Tadpoles”, so it’s also a great day for the whole family.

There’s quite a few SPR runners (yes, we notice your Strava runs!), and a number of members have taken part in this event in previous years. You might even be able to spot a couple on the official web page banner.

As a bonus and to add a little bit of fun, see if you can be first person to identify all 5 SPR members in the banner.  http://www.trievents.com.au/duathlon/

It’s a well organised event held at a great location and there’s always a wonderful atmosphere the whole day.

If you’re thinking this might be something for you individually or as a team, throw a comment on here and let us know. We can even help to organise a team for you if you nominate run or ride and your anticipated time for the distance of your choice.

Come and join the fun on what is a great day.
