In this edition:

Masters Run/Swim/Run/Swim/Run Duathlon

The somewhat Annual Run/Swim Duathlon is coming up this Saturday, May 12, at 7:15am and 8:00am at Burgess Park Pool.  This event is for Team Sheeper and Menlo Masters team members only.

This is a very fun, short, interesting and challenging event that began way back in 1996 and we have done it off and on for many years.

We will host two start times.  The first Duathlon, which will cover shorter run and swim distances will begin at 7:15am.   The second Duathlon which will have longer runs and swims will begin at 8:00am.  You may choose to do either one or both of them.

Both events are designed to take 20-40 minutes to complete.

Here are the vitals:
