duathlete
Runs and cycles competitively
A duathlete is someone who competes in duathlons, endurance races that typically combine running and cycling.
Unlike triathletes, duathletes skip the swimming portion, making the sport accessible to those who prefer land-based events or lack swimming facilities.
The standard format involves a run, then a bike segment, then another run.
She trained as a duathlete before eventually adding swimming to become a triathlete.
