Greenwich Biathlon (aka a Duathlon)

Race start - Eneas and Yokes out front

According to Wikipedia-

Biathlon is a term used to describe any sporting event made up of two disciplines. However, biathlon usually refers specifically to the winter sport that combines cross-country skiing and rifle shooting. Another popular variant is summer biathlon, which combines cross-country running with riflery, and also modern biathlon and biathle, which combine running with swimming. Not to be confused with duathlon.
So, the Greenwich Biathlon is really better described as a duathlon (run-bike-run) which is why I decided to watch and snap some pictures versus race (why would I do a race that doubles the run and has no swimming?).
There was a great turnout from Targetraining team members and clients -Eneas (1st place overall), Kristin (2nd place overall), Yokes (1st place in AG), Dr. Poe (2nd place in AG), Kim, Bob, Mike and others. Way to go everyone!!!
