Warm up for the Apple Capital Duathlon went great except for being lost most of the time. If there's one thing that can be said about the course is that it's hilly. Mostly gradual but some zippers in the lollipop portion (turnaround) of the bike that will bring the speed down to something glacial.
The course for tomorrow will be 5k run, 26k bike and another 5k run. The run has.. A hill or two. Probably about a 75m climb during each 5k. It doesn't look like too bad of a course except that its on. Paved trails and that could crowd things up a bit. The bike basically does a slow climb for 5k, goes downhill for 5k and then climbs steep to the turn around point. Oh yeah! i almost forgot about the wind. It was frickin windy. Really frickin windy! All I can say is that I hope it marked well. I was lost the whole time...
The town...it's small. Quaint. Nice riverfront area with sculptures and paved trails, great for running. The roads are fairly good for cycling. A bit roughed up from the winter. Very courteous drivers. I however would not recommend riding a bike on Wenatchee ave just off the highway. It freaked the drivers out!!
Beer and sushi for dinner tonight and we will just see what happens tomorrow...
Sorry... No pictures today. Some tomorrow.
