days leading up to the race, as well as mental preparation strategies
for race day.! After the talk we will run the first leg of the Blitz Duathlon, an out and back on Sulphur Springs Trail (7.km, with the option of adding an additional 4km to the run by running up, up, up the Diamond-T Loop at the end of the run! Come on out and bring your 'race face' with you!!
