Duluth Duathlon - Winter Style (recap)



Total distance: 5.92 miles

Participants: Keven, Greg, and Bill S. (along with canine companions Scout and Bear)

Highlights: Snow covered trail system was well packed, clear night with bright moon offered great visibility, the attendance of Bill and Bear.

Detailed stats and interactive map

Recap: We ran a portion of the SHT and then did a lap around the swamp trail and guardrail. After the run we headed back to the parking lot to grab our ski gear and skate a few laps on the pond. Unfortunately, our slow "transition" time in sub-freezing temps ultimately resulted in several cases of frozen fingers. By the time we completed one lap around the pond we decided that it's not much fun skiing when you can't feel your hands, so we decided to call it a night. The skiing conditions were excellent, so we might have to try it again sometime soon when the temps are warmer.

Overall, antoher great night enjoying the outdoors. Embrace winter!
