  • Challenge Dubai – 27th February 2015

    ***many thanks to Kenneth Heney for this race report *** What happened to the beautiful Dubai weather that is typical for this time of year?  I like a tough course and this triathlon stuff is not meant to be a walk in the park, but that was simply upsetting. Down…
