The Balbirnie Park duathlon featured a 5km run, (including a blast up Cardiac Hill!), a 20km bike on undulating Fife roads and finishing with a 2.5km run.
Four Harriers took on the race, with Jim McConell leading them in, closely followed by Fiona McDonald, Nicola Watson, and Tim Loyd bringing up the rear.
From Tim: Great evening at the Glenrothes Triathlon Club Duathlon at Balbirnie Park, with a 5km run, 20km cycle, and 2.5km run. Jim was the experienced duathlete having completed three, whilst I was on my first, having been persuaded by Nicola. Great running and cycling by Fi with support from Julia, Kay and Cherry. I think we’re all looking for our next duathlon.
It should be noted that Cherry cycled from Crieff to Glenrothes to support - very good effort!
