I done the kings wood one last year - good laugh, about 90 people entered, all abilities which is good as Im pretty pants.

If you're "pants" at MTB, then I hate to think what word describes me at MTB!!!!  

Interesting, but not for me, I need to at least be good at one sport before trying 2!  

I can recommend the Kings Wood dualthlon was really good fun.

i would put im pants at running  

Team option... mrs mudmonkey can run, i can ride

Really? Mrsboy can run, I can't, I can't really ride a bike, but I can ride a bike better than I can run.

Some events allow it... we'll be doing one.

I've mentioned it and she's keen, she's also keen to do a duathlon! Wahaaaay!

Team option is a good idea, worth doing.   Also you set off on fresh legs when the rest have had a run, much overtaking

I can't run (yet) due to back injury so team is a great option and something for me and Mrs MudMonkey to do together. We will both probably be slow relative to most others but I don't care.

I wanted to do the Kings Wood one this year so will try and get down there next year.  I'm not tooo bad at running

Only bummer with the KW one is that its on the 7th march  - same day as the Fowlmead WW 4th race.  I was up in KW last sat for a ride & a bloke saw me getting my bike out the van - he came over asked if I was up for the duathlon on the 7th.  Ended up he organises it so I pointed out they will lose people due to the date clash with the fowlmead one - he said hed look into it.  Probably wont change though.

If they do clash ill still do the KW one as its local, something different & was the 1st race i done this year after doing nothing but study & work for a couple  of years (ie no real time to do fitness stuff) so want to see if I can better my last time.

So it ends up they changed the date to the 14th march for the kings wood duathlon - no clash with the fowlmead winter warmers now.   For those who think they cant run - id say dont be put off - there is all abilities, or find someone whos game for a laugh & split with them, you mtb, they run.

Mudmonkey ran 5km in a santa suit the other day apparently so has no excuse not to do this one especially as its near where he lives!
