2866.0. "Hudson/Berlin Race on 10/9 ??" by PCBUOA::LPIERCE (Time to Ride) Mon Oct 10 1994 16:55

    
    Does anyone know about the M:bike race Sunday (10/9) in 
    Hudson/Berlin, MA?
    
    I saw a sign that said "race" and I saw alot of M:bikes going into
    the Gates Pond resivor.  I know the res' very well, and I don't see
    how a race could be held there - they race would be a very very
    short race.
    
    I ride the pond alot - I'm not a fast rider and it takes me only
    15min to get around the pond.  I just don't see what thrill real
    good bikers would get from a 15min race ???????

2866.2	Dualathon?	TALLIS::SENDLOSKY		`Tue Oct 11 1994 08:58`	5
	In the newspaper I read it was a 2.5 mile run, 15 mile (I think) bike race, and 2.5 mile run again. I may have a couple of the details wrong, but this is what I recall at the moment. larry
2866.3	Multiple uses.	LUDWIG::ASMITH		`Tue Oct 11 1994 17:08`	5
	Re .2; Isn't the term Biathlon? Some good Criteriums can be run over a 2.5 mile course and believe me, the racers would be excited and alert.

	The event was a FIRM duathlon. R2.3 MtBike7.5 R2.3 I think is was the last event on the FIRM calendar this year. This was the first time they had used this particular course.
