TriBob Duathlon

Did my maiden Tribob duathlon, the event was very well organized and i had a pleasant time racing. There was another running event being held elsewhere, the Suburban run.

Arrived at the venue at around 0610 and managed to get a parking lot in the Mandai Crematorium as i was one of the few early birds. Gotta my bike ready and rode to the starting point. But then, there were a lot of participants at the transition area. The distances for this sprint Duathlon consisted of 3km run, followed by 15 km bike and then another 3 km run. The Men under 40 started at around 0730 and the Seletar reservoir was filled with "Fast and Furious" runners. The weather was very cooling and the bike route was spacious. I managed to finished the race in a hour time.

However, the well-organized event was marred by the loss of a participant's Cervelo P2C bike. Hopefully the stolen bike can be found and be returned to the poor chap.

The thief simply 'destroyed' the spirit of the Duathlon......
