Again, apologies for the tardy posting of this incredible race report!
Kevin Krol has trekked over to New York for four years now to take on one of the world’s toughest duathlons. The American Zofingen is the United States’ answer to the Powerman Zofingen in Switzerland, which is the race that Mark Allen– six time Ironman world champ– called the hardest race he’s ever done. Several of the Swiss athletes participated in this year’s American version, and pronounced it just as hard.
This year, Kevin took home a PR and fifth in his age group.
The race is long, with a 10k run/150k bike/30k run format, but the real challenge comes from the terrain. The looping course is filled with long steep hills that offer no respite. Kevin wrote a report that will make most sane people flee, but will probably end up enticing endurance athletes to give it a serious look. Read on!
