More than 100 duathletes chose to brave the mildly snowy conditions and compete in the second event in the 2006/07 Chilly Cheeks Duathlon Series.
OK, it was more than mildly snowy. Anyone who has tried to maintain a decent workout schedule in Colorado this winter knows that the Denver area has been getting pounded with weekly snowstorms since a week after the first race in the series.
The December race saw a sunny day with a race temperaure in the 50's and dry pavement and trails for virtually the entire course. By contrast, Race #2 met runners with snow conditions that varied from knee-deep powder to relatively hard-packed snow.
The bike course was slippery and snowpacked for almost all of the route, leading most participants in the "Open Division" to choose a mountain bike or cyclocross bike. The Chilly Cheeks series offers two divisions - a Fat Tire division, where participants must ride a mountain bike, and an Open division, where they can choose their bike based on the conditions of the day.
Each series event features a different format totaling approximately 4 miles of running and 10 miles of cycling. This race started with a 1.5 mile run which went from a snowpacked roadway for the opening half-mile to knee-deep snow for the final mile. Next, participants completed a 4 mile bike ride to a second transition area across the park where they completed a 2.5 mile trail run on hard-packed snow.
Participants who switched shoes for running and cycling were required to carry their shoes while on the bike. Stashing of gear in T2 was strictly prohibited.
Following the second run, participants mounted their bikes for a snowy 6-mile ride before racking their bikes and sprinting the final 50 meters to the finish line, where goodies and hot chocolate were waiting.
Boulder's Laurie Mizener and Andy Palmer of Centennial led the way through the course and to the hot chocolate tent on this chilly January morning. Palmer, who thrives on conditions like these, was one of the few who braved the course on a road bike!
In a Chilly Cheeks tradition, lucky random participants are handed sponsor merchandise including Excel Sports gift certificates, GoLite clothing, and Hammer Nutrition products as they cross the finish line.
The final event in this winter's Chilly Cheeks series will take place on Saturday February 17th. It is a 10 mile Bike / 4 mile Run format.
