The full list of athletes in all categories is here: 2012 Athletes of the Year
If you've never done a duathlon before, they're a great way to test the waters of the 'multi-sport' world. The atmosphere is usually a bit lower key and more friendly than triathlons and for the majority of people a whole lot less stressful because you don't have to worry about the swim.
Gear West Bike has put on an early season duathlon for years and is the perfect venue for anyone thinking about trying out a duathlon. The race will be held on May 19th this year.
This year the crew at Gear West will be going above and beyond to make this the best duathlon of the year with the following perks:
- Pancakes and Caribou coffee at packet pickup
- On-site childcare
- Spectator friendly cross country style run course
- Sponsorship with Zipp to bring you some great give-aways.
Zipp is sponsoring the race which means there some great prizes up for grabs, and you don't have to be fast to win any of these, just lucky!
Each month prior to the race all of the registered entrants are entered into a drawing. Matt Moen won the prize for January, a pair of Zipp Tangente tires.
Still up for grabs:
- March: Two Zipp carbon water bottle cages
- April: Zipp Double Wheel Bag
- May: Zipp Gear/Transition Bag
And on race morning, a pair of Zipp 404 Clinchers will be awarded to one lucky participant!
So dig up your lucky rabbit's foot, put a horseshoe in your back pocket and sign up for a really top notch event today to get your season started the right way.
Registration and course info can be found at the GW Du website: Gear West Duathlon
I hope to see you there!
