May is Duathlon Month in Minnesota. Five great races. Okay, we're fudging a little. The first du--FALLS--is actually on April 29.
Two of the five--FALLS and CINCO DU MAYO--have been contested. Next up is Saturday's OAKDALE DUATHLON at Lake Elmo Park Reserve, followed the next Saturday by the GEAR WEST DU. And the Saturday after that is APPLE....
All of these races are excellent and deserve your participation. Besides, there's no better way to knock off rust, or toughen yourself for the tri season, than run-bike-run.
Today we are sharing some statistical stuff about the first of these fine races: OAKDALE. At the end of the post will be a link to the event's website.
