Mud, mud, glorious mud! Nothing quite like it for...wrecking your washing machine!? Average running ability + middling bike skills might just equal ninja duathlon ability. The Stinger gives you the chance to test that formula and gives an excuse to buy a shed load of new gucci sports kit for your shot at the title. The bike loop will be less gnarly than the usual Fully Sussed fare but will be a challenge to ride at speed. Want to do well? In our experience, unlike the wise words of Lance 'Voldemort' Armstrong, with a MTB duathlon it is ALL about the bike. Start pedaling now and we'll tell you when to stop.

Kit advice
You can do the stinger in normal trainers, but we wouldn't recommend it! Off road trainers are better if you have them. You can do the Stinger on a cyclocross bike, but we wouldn't recommend it! A mountain bike is the most suitable bike for the job. |
