Review

I have done this duathalon about a half dozen times. The two 5K’s are the same and pretty challenging with a pretty good climb. The bike is fairly routine with rolling hills and some pretty good views. Seems like it is always pretty warm. All in all a solid race that is well run and the proceeds go to a very good cause, Marine families.

Review

Pretty good race. Everything seemed well organized. Wasn’t a huge fan of the race site. It was a hot and dirty run. The bike was decent but there were the occasional cars to deal with. You’re on the base so you may see some military trucks rolling by. I like to do the duathlon’s to keep me fresh for the triathlons. Good way to get some transition training in without having to get wet! I’ll do this race again.

Hey it’s a Camp Pendleton race so you know it’s going to be well run and on time! Pre Race was pretty uneventful. It’s a rather small race so there aren’t too many vendors or activity. But they do their best to keep it entertaining. The run is kind of ugly. Behind barracks and up some dirt hill and back to the transition area. The dirt hill was especially difficult in the 2011 race because it was HOT! The bike course is nice. An out and back mostly flat. Some hills to keep it interesting. Then back to the run. I like the duathlon format but this race is basically just okay.
