When: Sunday November 13th, 2011 at 7:30am 

Where: The 2nd annual San Diego Duathlon will take place in beautiful Mission Bay park in San Diego. You will be racing on the course where the sport of Duathlon and Triathlon started in 1973/74!

Why the Duathlon? Besides being a great sport on it's own here is another
reason: If you have "tried" a triathlon or are looking to improve on your race, according to the International Triathlon Union (ITU), "Although many competitors specialize in duathlon, the sport is often used during the triathlon off-season by Age Groupers and Elites to improve their run speed and bike power. Events are usually held in the spring or autumn so as not to clash with summer triathlon races."

Course description and rules: The course is a close proximity "point-to-point" format with the start-line, transition, and finish-line areas all within 200 yards of each other. This format provides great visual and mental stimulus for the athlete in it's design. The course is fun and designed to get the most out of the athlete's performance!

Athletes will run a one loop 1.5mi course around South Shores / Rose Starns park to Fiesta Island. At the entrance to Fiesta Island transition to their bikes and complete the 20km time trial course around Fiesta Island (3 big loops). Athletes then dismount their bikes for a final 2 loop run (2.5mi) around South Shores / Rose Starns park to the finish! The course is accurately measured and is flat and fast! This course was designed by the race director a 30 year veteran of multi-sport.

The San Diego Duathlon will have all USAT rules apply. It is the athletes responsibility to review all USAT rules provided here and at the check-in: http://www.kpcnews.com/triathlon/pdfs/2009_USAT_Competitive_Rules.pdf.
