In short: Picturesque friendly event that’s well organised and a good warm-up for the London Triathlon
In full: I did this Duathlon as a warm up for the London Triathlon. There was a celebrity start from Jon Tickle and a warm welcome from the Swallowfield villagers. As Duathletes start the run with the 10K runners, the streets are lined with people clapping and cheering giving a lovely atmosphere. Then you head out into narrow lanes with scenic views, before returning to the village to head out on the bike course, which is mostly flat and feels pretty fast. The run finishes with your name being announced, a nice touch for a small event like this, and you get a weighty medal at the end of it all. I found it a great way to spend a September Sunday morning.
