A long time ago…Stockton

One of the numerous events to be cancelled or postponed during lockdown has been the Stockton Duathlon Festival, which was due to take place in late April. Having competed in 2018, I was meant to take part in this year’s event too, but alas, it wasn’t to be. However, the reason I took part in …
