I did this duathlon last April. Really enjoyed the event. I wont be able to make it unfortunetly due to work commits. Instead I have a nice 12hr shift that day.

ChickenBalls

Not to worry Andrew there's always next year.

FYI - The web site is back up now.

I second Andrewf20 and also did this in April. Runs were 4.3k and 4.6k I think and the bike was 22k then.
I have a 20 miler run planned that morning so I have to miss this.
But enjoy

Anybody else doing this?
It's my second ever event and I'm hoping to get a time around 1.40 and maybe even sneak below 1.35 if things go right (100% right!!)
Might be unrealistic, but who knows

Anybody know about the bike course?
I thought it was going up the bypass and back but now it looks like 4 laps of somewhere

Hey Dustybin,

The cycle course will be 1 lap.
If you goto the web site http://www.3rocktriclub.com/events.php at the bottom of the page is the google map of the 1 lap course.
The reason we changed it is because of the motorway upgrades.
You'll cycle the run route and join the N11 at coynes cross and then onto the turn off for Newtown and under the bridge and return back.
I'll be updating the briefing document on the web site tomorrow that has the old 4 lap bike course info so just ignore that.

See you there!
Wont be racing it myself got a 20 mile run to do that morning.

If I'm the only one doing the race does that mean I get a t-shirt??

FYI

The bike course description is now updated on the site and the online registration is closed but you can pay on the day.

See you all Sunday!

Well done to all involved in organising yesterdays event
2 or more marshalls at every junction all cheering and clapping every competitor around the course
Made me smile and the encouragement helped me get that bit extra out of my very tired legs

Was hoping to get a 1.35 before the race, came away with a 1.19 so very chuffed with that


Next 3 rock event I'm told is last weekend in April, count me in

Well done DustyBin good stuff.

The results are on the web site now http://www.3rocktriclub.com
