    Ive just signed up for the duathlon at Oulton Park on 5th October. Little bit different to a trackday lol. Ive gone into the sprint race, run one lap, get on the bike for five laps then run on last lap.

    Will be a bit weird going round on my push bike. But I need to get in shape and start pushing myself distance wise. Also thinking of doing the Isle of Man end to end challenge next year.

    Anyone on here up for doing it? Got a feeling its going to be a no lol

    Well cycling and running round oulton park is shit!!

    Dont get me wrong it was a good sense of achievement but I prefer an engine to get me round instead of relying on my legs lol.

    Ran the first lap in 18.16mins, did 5 laps on the bike in 42.4mins and the one final lap run of 20.13mins. Total time 1 hour 23mins. Not too bad for my first attempt. Next up is getting an entry to the Isle of Man manx end to end challenge in February.
