Duathlon...the answer to this crappy winter

This winter has really killed my cykelträning and I am wondering what to do with all this running experience. Last year the answer was to run a few races until GöteborgsVarvet and then I switched to MTB to race Billingeracet with basically no cycling at all. I finished Billingen but it could have went a lot better.

So how can I make the best use of all this running now and the months of April and May? The answer...Duathlon! Duathlon comes in many forms but mainly it is running, cycling and then running again.

Precisely at the right time (April-May), there are 4 races listed under Duathloncupen 2010 on duathlon.se. These are unfortunately all around Stockholm so if there is a Göteborg equivalent, please let me know.

The 'sprint' distance is 5km running + 20km LVG + 2.5km running which would be the perfect length during cross season. And the SM distance is 10km run + 40km LVG + 5km run which is perfect for MTB marathon training.

Where do I sign up? This is perfect for me!
