Hi all
A friend and I have just registered for a Run & Bike race this weekend (4 days from now). Both of us have 0 Run & Bike or MTB experience.
I was wondering what you guys would suggest as the best turnover strategy. What is the optimal distance / time of each run section for each of us given the below info?
Thank you very much

About the race
- Total distance 42km
- Road surface alternates between tarmac and trail, but not technical at all. Total positive elevation : +400m
- The first runner has to run 7km to meet his partner with the bike. So no change-over during the first 7 km of the race
About us:
- Same height
- Same running ability (5kPB ~16.30, Half-marathon PB ~1.13 vs. 1.17)
- 0 technical ability and MTB experience. Flying mounts during change-overs very unlikely. No time to practice these either in the next 3 days
