The Killermeter:
Wed night was the last event of the season for the North Down “athletes” and it was closed with a bang. The 1 kilometre test of man’s ability to ignore intense pain and dizziness with total disregard for tactics, endurance or any sense of self preservation.
An event so savage that it has been dropped by the Olympic Games but lives on in the North Down calendar. Such is the draw of this event that previous Killer-meter specialist Duane McCreadie returned from his punishing criterium racing season in England to show our time trial regulars the way home. Assuming that Duane’s Herculean training schedule hasn’t taken its toll then he could be the man to beat.
