| Event Name: | Fort Steilacoom Off-Road Duathlon #3 |
| Date: | 18 February 2012 |
| Description: | 5 km run, 12 mile ride, 5 km run |
| Long Course Open Men: | 4th - Martin Criminale |
Each week the legs have varied slightly keeping the competitors on their toes and this time the run included the hill from the first race but the bike leg was different yet again resulting in a 4-mile loop that the long course racers completed three times.
The race got off to a scorching fast start but Martin managed to pull back most of the racers that left him behind on the run while on the bike. This course seems to favor cyclocross bikes for sure but there are plenty of sketchy descents, side hills and greasy climbs. Lots of fun; especially if you are a spectator.
With this result Martin managed to get 2nd place in the series overall!
Here is Martin's race report.
