WOW… That was my first Duathlon
WOW… That was my first Duathlon, and I could not believe the set up. When we drove in, I saw giant event flags on both sides of the road and then after parking and taking my bike to transition, it was so professionally run. I really felt good but also kind of important at the same time.
I had questions and the people running the event were wearing company shirts, so it made it easy for me to ask questions.
The course was well marked, and I always knew where I was going. When I ran across the Finish Line, I was greeted by a professional photographer and then I saw a real GONG that I got to hit with a mallet, and it was “so cool.” I guess instead of a PR bell, they set up a PR Gong, and I never saw anything like that before at the 5K & Half Marathons that I have done.
They had hot beans and rice, hot-dogs, Gatorade, and so many other things including beer. I had a banana and then a hot dog and some rice and beans that were yummy.
I ended up taking 2nd Place and the award medal I got for 2nd place was nice. A 3d type medal that I have never seen before and I also received a pretty cool Finisher Medal that was nice.
I wrote a big review, but I had a lot to say because I really had a good time and I never did this kind of event. Thank you is what I have to say to the people that put on this race and all the people running the event were so nice and helpful. I will be back to do other events that this company does for sure.
