Hagg Lake Off-road Duathlon
Another duathlon, another win. Again, unfortunately, I was mostly racing myself as I won by 14 or so minutes with a finish time of 1:34. I did the off-road version because I was able to convince Rebecca that duathlon is fun and she should try it; she placed third in the on-road version the day […]
