Apple Capital Spring Duathlon

Thank you all for an awesome day!  The weather was definitely a mixed bag, but I’d say we ended up with more good than bad.  Especially considering it’s April.  Our fastest time of the day was Sarah Barkley with a blazing fast 1:25:01.  Results are up thanks to BuDu’s most excellent scoring.

Update – 3-26  A few of us got out on a pre-ride of the bike course this weekend and decided we’re going to reverse the “lollipop” portion to run clockwise.  This will be a safety improvement over years past, eliminating the sharp, high speed downhill corner coming off of Fairview Canyon and onto Richared Dr.  This will also mix it up a bit.  Not to worry we will remind everyone on race day and have it WELL marked.  One additional note on the bike course:  it’s beautiful!  Take one second during the race to look up and appreciate it.

Course  The 5k run will take you across the Columbia River and back, winding along the iconic Apple Capital Loop Trail.  The 16 mile bike ride is a roller coaster ride, taking you into beautiful apple country with the snow-capped Cascades overlooking.  A total of elevation gain 1435′ makes it no flat speed demon course, yet the elevation has a way of sneaking up on you with no long sustained climbs.
