my uncle is an avid biker who is pretty sure he’d be a decent swimmer. i’m still working on getting him to give running a try, but in the meantime…
are there du’s that are swim and bike only? if anyone knows of any in the jersey area, that’d be perfect. regardless, if you can give me any info in general about what to expect (length, order of events, etc) that’d be great too.
thanks…
“are there du’s that are swim and bike only? … that’d be perfect.”
Gotta agree with that, but it’s not too likely. Perhaps the best thing to do initially is get your uncle in on a team where different people swim, bike and run. The only time I’ve ever had gold was as part of a team where someone else did the run.
A triathlon is just a TT with a warm up swim and cool down jog attached at either end.
Back in '92 in Maryland I did the No Run All Fun Biathlon, which was about 2K yd swim and about 13 mile bike. That was the last year, alas…
