This is nothing more than an anti-triathlon, pro-duathlon video.

We are trying to promote the sport of duathlon. Let's hear your opinion on why you compete.

Bullshit, tri are so much harder.

[pipocobain]

easier? so if you do not know to push ... I guarantee that three sports training and competition is much more complicated and difficult. this video is about duatlets that want to say that its harder then try ... bullshit duatletes, your pace on that video are ridiculos!!, sorry keep training

I participate in duathlons throughout the spring and summer in the Sacramento, Ca. area. The event is a 2 hour drive from San Jose but is worth the drive. I have time to concentrate on two disciplines and running and bicycling are my two best. The second run is always fun and challenging. My legs seem to be saying "we already ran earlier".

Tri's and duathlons are both challenging and good workouts. Good luck to all with your workouts and events this summer.

have you ever done a duathlon?

It's certainly not tougher if your a natural runner. "Most" great athletes run very well. "Most" great swimmers are not great runners. The 3 sport discipline is tougher because you have to train 3 sports and not just 2.
