Do the Du – Practice Run Tonight
UPDATE: I think the trail is going to be too wet to run or ride tonight from the reports we have in. I am going to hold off until Wednesday to run it.
To get ready for the Dirty Duathlon I am planning on running out at Center tonight. Plan to start at 6:00 at the red icon and end on the green. I need to get my trail legs under me. If you are planning on riding/running the Du then come out and join me. Post a comment or show up at 6:00 at the red icon.

I do not know where Center is, can you be more specific? Do you think a Hybrid will do the trick? I don’t have nobbie tires yet but plan on getting them. Call my cell. 557-0702
The map above is the running part of the Du or it was last year I think. The riding part I would say you need a mountain bike for. But you can get out there and ride it to see if you bike will hold up or not. Center is right behind the old Science Center. Look at this map on Google Maps http://maps.google.com/maps/mm?ie=UTF8&hl=en&ll=41.574169,-93.684754&spn=0.027161,0.057163&t=h&z=14&om=1 . There is a trailhead for the biking part down from the lake at Ashworth pool.
Are you doing this again this year? I would love to take a practice ride, I’ve never done it and want to make sure I can complete the course before I enter the race. I’m going to try the beginner course this year.
I have been so busy the past month of so that I have not even though about it. I have not been doing much running, well, none at all really.
Let me look up the data and see how much time I have to get in running shape.
I did the full race and I am not a racer. It kicked my butt!
