Barnetby MTB Duathlon
Another cold day
Another cold day for everyone turning out for the Barnetby MTB Duathlon this morning. A few of the regulars missing but also some enthusiastic new faces who had come for some Sunday morning fun.
A tough morning with such a cold wind and some nasty ice patches that caught a few people out. I even decided a duathlon was not enough and took a swim half way round the first lap of the bike course. I don't know how but I managed to find the deepest and coldest puddle on the course!!!
Ian Burkinshaw once again set off with the intension of posting the fastest time, however had new face Duncan Warmsley team Zepnat chasing him down hard with only a few seconds seperating them after the bike. Ian put in a hard run and came in first with Duncan close behind.
"Even though it was meant to be a training morning, but straight from the off it came a full blown race! 3 mile cross country run, 12 miles MTB off road and then 1.5 mile cross country run. The guy who just beat DW is half his age and the club itself is noted a very good triathlon club in the area, so he was up against some handy guys!"Thanks Gary
