THE OTC VIRTUAL DU IS ON!!!!!

[Team OTC]

Great news to keep you motivated to continue working out in these interesting times.

The OTC is having a virtual Duathlon.  All you need to do is to complete one of these two distances in one day to have your name entered in a draw to win an LCBO $30 gift card.  Because we can use the LCBO right now.  We have two $30 gift cards from Todd that will be drawn randomly among all participants who complete either of these triathlon distances:

500 m run                                     1 km run

15 km bike                                    20 km bike

3 km run                                        5 km run

As an added bonus Adam from Velofix is donating a bike tune-up for the best participant of finisher picture which will be drawn from all pictures for the virtual tri and du.

We also ask that you post your pictures on the OTC Facebook page.

All participants will use the honour system, no need for sending up Garmin, Training peaks or Strava info

The deadline is Sunday, June 21 at 10:00pm and yes you can complete a tri as well as a du to give you more chances to win.

Sign up on this thread for the du and on the tri thread for the tri.

Looking forward to seeing your pictures and results.

Have fun and stay healthy.

Hey y’all,

Did the long du today using Geordie’s 6 pm spin class. Was enjoying the weather so I went a bit longer. Was still warm though. My recovery beverage is going down nicely.

P.S. for the life of me, the photo flips despite it uploading right side up, so imagine I had so much fun that I am flipping with joy if it is upside down again.

Finished my du...and the knowledge that I was going to do it today, gave me that little bit of pre-race feeling.  Thank you.  Did my 1k run, 20k bike (perfect temp this am)and ended with 5k run (very slow) legs were complaining a teensy tiny bit.  No picture.  Just how it is!!

Do I have to be a OTC member? I assume and 3/2 done the same day?

thanks Mickey

[Andria King]

Done!

I actually completed the Duo last Sunday 14 Jun - was much cooler than my Tri yesterday. I waited until I had completed the Tri before posting.

For the Duo I completed:

Run 750 (with my little red precious - 10 lbs of red fury Mr Pippin - yes, named after the halfling). 7:18 min, 9:46 pace, Pippin had to stop to sniff a few flowers and then address a wayward Robin.

Bike - 15.55 km, 38:4 min, 24.1 kph

Run - 3.04 km, 17:1 min, 5:39 pace

Photos provided by my honeybun.

Late posting, but did completed (my first ever!) duathalon on June 13 - Did a 2.5km run, 20km bike, 5 km run. Tried to mimic a race as much as possible and set up a little transition area in my garage :) Pic is after I finished. Was hard, but super fun.

[Dave King]

Congrats on your first Duathlon!

[Tim Pinet]

Christine (Spice) and I got our Du on today! 1k run, 20k bike, 5k run. Very muggy, a little rain, but otherwise fun!

[Kate Taylor]

Decided last weekend to do the short du. What better day than Canada Day?!  Much less profanity than the OTC duathlon I did last year lol!

[Andrew Weston]

but Kate, the hi-light of the Du WAS your profanity! :-) lol.  well done, keep at it, you are awesome!

Hi all!

Completed the long tri this evening... very warm and windy. 

20 mins of strength training, 20 km bike, and 5 km run :) 

  

Just completed 

[Michael Snook]

Completed the OTC virtual duathlon today (1km run + 20km bike + 5km run), aka the "Shrodinger's Duathlon" because, as a solo event, I was both first and last. 😜

Shout out to Coach Todd for organizing this and the OTC virtual triathlon. 👏👏👏
