2025 Fall Classic Duathlon Photos

Henry and I raced the FINAL EVER "Fall Classic Duathlon" 2 weeks ago, and here are a few photos from their Facebook album of 450 photos:

Race director Judi on the right!


Charlie back there behind the orange fence behind the sign!


Start of the "reverse" duathlon (bike-run-bike).


This kid was the one in the sprint with Henry at the finish!


Start of the "regular" duathlon (run-bike-run).


Smiling as someone tells me to slow down. :)




One of the 2 lead women and Henry back there in the blue.


Henry!!


Running through the lot at the start.


Leading out the first run about 0.2 miles in.


Smiling at Charlie in the distance.


This is the kid that ended up in 2nd overall!


Henry in his gloves on a chilly morning.

I came into T1 with a healthy lead (figuring it was about 2 minutes as I noted in a post-race update), as I saw the next runner WIPING OUT around a corner as I took off on my bike as he was running towards transition. The photographer caught the runner just after he got back up and ran across the road:

2nd place running towards T1...


...as I biked out. Notice he's checking his palms after getting scratched up while falling! Yikes!


Heading out on the bike!


1st female back to T1...


... and the 2nd right on her tail!


2nd place with his freshly scuffed knee!


Henry coming back to T1 as the 2nd kid, with 3rd just behind him!


Henry in the light blue WAY off in the distance entering the far side of transition!


Henry biking out (looking like a parachute... he wished he would have skipped the coat).


Judi again!


The leader in the reverse duathlon finishing his first bike.


Charlie liked this guy in the SPAM jersey (in the reverse du).


Me coming into T2 after being STOPPED BY A TRAIN but still heartily in the lead.




Running out of T2. Wanting to work hard as a final training day for the TC 10 Mile.




2nd place heading out (about 5 mins behind me, and ended up finishing about 8 mins behind me).


The battle for the lead female! Here they are both starting the final run!!


Me heading to the finish with Charlie leading the way! Thanks Charlie!!




Looking ahead to the finish.


Pre-race, I was worried that this guy's strong legs could be trouble for me!


A runner heading out, with me and Charlie in the background.
We were headed to the road to wait for Henry to finish the bike!


2nd place heading to the finish! (With me and Charlie cheering on the left.)


FIRST FEMALE BATTLE!!


Still tight turning toward the balloon arch!!


TIGHT FINISH!! It went to the woman in the shorts!


Randy the timer! Always good to chat with him!


2nd place with her crew! (Her kids and nieces.)


First place "reverse" du finisher. Always funny seeing a bike crossing the line!


HENRY FINISHING HIS FIRST MULTI-SPORT RACE!


My wife loves this pic of us after finishing!


Close-up. I LOVE this!

If you missed it, here's my race report (which is the first race where I was stopped by a train!), and here are a few post-race notes in another post.

Thanks for the fun race, Judi! Hope to see you at some triathlons next year!
