Runner Triathlete News [ return ] From Message fuzz   7/04/2003 10:29:04 Subject: 1st duathlon IP: Logged Message: Hi, I hope someone can give me some advice. This will be my first duathlon (2 mi run, 10 mi bike, 2 mi run). I've been doing some training already. The race is July 18th in Sugar Land TX. I'm concerned about a few things: 1) What is suitable to wear for running/ cycling? Cycling with running shorts vs. Running with padded cycling shorts? Neither sound good to me ... 2) Transition time: does the time count? what should be a good time for transitioning? 3) Transition, what to do: do I need a non- racing partner to watch over my change of clothes/shoes/bicycle? How do people change? Where do people change? Where do people usually leave their bicycles before and after the running part? Thanks Andy Stewart   7/04/2003 12:56:53 RE: 1st duathlon IP: Logged Message: Race date is Sunday, July 27th. Transition time does count. For this reason, competitors do not change. They wear bike shorts with small pad or no pad. Transition area is coned off. This is where your bike is placed before and after. Have a good time. We will have 100+ first-timers, so you will not be alone. fuzz   7/04/2003 16:49:09 RE: 1st duathlon IP: Logged Message: Yea, July 27th is the correct date. Thanks! So in the transition area, do we just leave our bikes and other gear there? I assume there's someone watching it for us?
