Any takers, Claire, Frank, Les, Alex, anyone ?

It looks very challenging to put it mildly but I think I might give it a go after a test run.

Registration and the run and cycling routes can be found here :-

I'm looking to do a Duathalon in 2012 ... but not nutty enough or experienced enough to try Parbold ... just watching you guys do the run was bad enough last year, lol smile 

Having said that, there is a duathalon in Chester on 4th March which looks inviting ... with both a short course and longer course on offer.

Bolesworth Mountain Bike Duathalon - Short course is 2.5km run, 10km bike ride, 2.5km run

Longer course is 5km run, 20km bike ride, 5km run

More course details here : http://www.chestertri.org.uk/bolesworth

Tony has rode up Parbold hill with Savannah whilst on a 40 mile bike ride; he said it was heart attack hill after just one effort and would wish anyone else the best of luck.

He said it's even funnier when cyclists are winking at you as you start of the climb when there on the way down!!!

Lot's of training required for this one it's really popular with those competing in ironman events tony said!!

Thanks,

April.
