12th April – GO TRI Stockton
This is a brand new series of mini-duathlons. 2k run - 5k or 10k bike - 2k run. Based at Northfield School and Sports College in Billingham Primarily the races are aimed at people that are new to multi-sport and would like to ‘dip their toe’ before committing themselves to a larger event. The emphasis is on trying it out rather than being too competitive. Having said that if you want to try to catch the guy in front, then go for it.
If you are a club athlete and want to use these races as some pre-season training then that’s fine. The bike lap is only 4.5k so you can do 2 laps if you wish. A good Sunday morning brick session.
