Duathlons

[3narf]

Does anyone do Duathlons?

I'm good at running and OK on a bike but crap at swimming, so I fancy a go, preferably a sprint event...

I've done 3 (I've also done triathlons, but swimming is my worst discipline).
Go for it! It is good fun.
Any questions, fire away.

Do they give you a bike, or would my singlespeed be adequate for the job? Depends on the course, I suppose. Dumb question.


Is there anywhere I can find all the events listed?

The first place to ask is probably your local triathlon club, followed by BTF or http://www.activeglobal.com/uk

You provide your own bike. People ride all sorts of things - I did my first three triathlons on a cheap MTB with slick tyres.

Finding events can be a bit tricky, but a good place to start is here:

and filter on duathlon.
