DB Max Chilly Duathlon - Castle Combe Circuit
Looks like the snow's gone so everything should be good for the Chilly Duathlon on March 1st.
2 mile/10 mile/2 mile with full chip timing and bike lap splits too - so you'll know exactly how fast you did each of the 5 laps of the famous race circuit.
Also to host the South West Children's Duathlon Champs, so if you've got kids between the age of 8 and 18 you can bring them along to race - they get to draft too!

I think I might
My run times let me down, for example. I finished 127/197 with a time of 1h01m15s...my bike time was 73/197 @ 26m52s.
Must run more. Great event though apart from some chimp hanging his bike where my kit was on T2.. will look into the august one.
I was the opposite of you gaterz, good runs, not so good bike. 77/197 overall, but 108/197 on the bike, in a time of 28:16 (more carbon required, and there was a lot of carbon there today!). The bike is alway my weaker area, need to keep working on it.
Had a great time though, 1st duathlon for me, will definately do some more, and ASAP I think.
I'm overseas in August, otherwise would definately do it, back for the November one though.
Agree with the carbon, lots of money rolling around! Apart from my mate it was only tt specific bikes that passed me....which i was pleased with.
Was my first ever event and was very pleased with it - even though the start was delayed it was quite well organised and a very good venue - will probably do the November one as I am doing the London Tri in August.
The buzz of carbon from behind me became quite familiar to me during the race.
There was one massive fella on a pure road bike, he was up on the hoods, pedalling at around 50 rpm, looking around like he was on a Sunday ride with the kids; he went whizzing past me, I was gutted as it was early in the race. I was expecting old ladies dressed as pirates with shopping baskets on the front to take me after that (got video evidence of a similar occurance at an Edinburgh marathon, not a proud monent!).
Don't really rate my swimming either, should maybe go back to just the running...............no, there's nothing like the feeling of overtaking a Cervelo on a £220 Halfords special.
GGB, my email pinged as I was writing this, well done on a first ever event, I'll be joining you at London in August!
Seems I finished pretty close to everyone here, 132 - just 6s in front of GGB. The weather helped make it a much nicer race than last November.
Great job on your times/placings.
I did this event for the second time this weekend, it is a great first event - it was my first in November. I think this is well placed event for a gauge of fitness level pre/post winter.
I have been working on my running fitness and paid off with a gain of 5:23 November to March.

I've only ever done three duathlons (The Chilly last November where I came 25th after getting lost in T2!, this Chilly and another sprint event on a training camp) and am really enjoying them.
Hope all the other events I'm planning in 2009 are as well organised.
I guess coming third helped with my praise(!), and the weather came out good, but nevertheless Will and his team did themselves proud.
Many thanks and see you later in the season no doubt...
I did complete 5 laps..... i think. [;)]
He cant make much money from the photos as everyone i was at the event with wasn't captured on bike section.
