i may see you at the AG champs but I'll be in the v40-45 cat
Qualified a few times for AG tri and duathlon but yet to race. If I get my act together then may well see you at the start line now I've tripped into M40 too. Podium aspirations may take a little while though
duncs-
I may see you there then as well 👍 hopefully restrictions should allow a fullish race calendar for the organisers this year. I've qualified for European cross duathlon champs a couple of times but covid fucked it. Won't be able to take my deferred place this year with the little one but in still like to do a European or worlds if in the future if they're somewhere nice but not too hot. Is here the best place for duathlon training chat? The tri thread on here is pretty quiet.

Good work 💪 you still being able to do that with a baby is a reminder that I'm sure I'll need at times that it can all be done. Luckily like you i guess i was already fit when our little one arrived as i was building for a xc 10 miler at the beginning of December but couldn't make it as she arrived 8 weeks early. I'm the opposite of you for my duathlon strengths as I'm a strong cyclist and just a solid runner so i definitely need to work on my second run strength to do better in a big race. Just more run speed endurance i guess which is why i thought 25-30k at 6 min mile pace in the interim should set me up well for that. Because your such a strong runner especially over the longer distances have you looked at something like the power man races? They could suit you. Good luck with your training and goals for this year and i may see you at the AG champs but I'll be in the v40-45 cat Olympic distance i think unless i can find a middle distance equivalent both non drafting as i can make up time on the bike in a TT effort. I guess you did the draft legal OD?
