Brand theft is alive and well! For those that crossed the finish line at the Vitruvian....a middle distance event...you were treated to a roar of 'You are a Vitruvian' in a way that had just an ounce or two of Britishness thrown in. I suppose if they had chucked in the word 'Man' they would have been a little too close to the real deal...
Satisfaction seems to be guaranteed for me at St Neots. I kicked my Tri season off there doing a sprint, for fun, in May and bagged myself my first ever 3rd place AG result. RESULT. Wind the clock forward and just this last weekend I hit the roads of Cambridgeshire again in an Olympic distance (of sorts) Tri and notched myself up the ladder to secure a very satisfactory 2nd AG result. RESULT.
The Forestman iron-distance tri was my number-one race for this year, and turned out to be my best ever. It's a smaller event held in the New Forest each year, with an undulating bike ride and hilly trail run.
Following a first attempt at iron-distance last year I had a good feeling about this one. Everything was better this time around - swim technique, bike power, diet, body-fat, fuelling, run speed and general endurance. I chose the New Forest tri as it's a beautiful area and a really well-liked, if tough, event. The front-runners' times are towards one hour slower than those for a fast ironman such as Roth, with only one athlete (Hywel Davies) to have gone sub-10 hours.
On Sunday 5th May 2013 nine members of Walden TRI headed over to Bradwell-on-Sea, Essex for the Big East Triathlon. Two distance races were available for the athletes to compete in: a Challenge Distance and Middle Distance.
The events consisted of a 800m / 1.6km swim in the River Blackwater, a 43km / 82km cycle through the Essex countryside and finished with a 10km/ 20km lapped run based around Bradwell, the sea wall and marshes, passing the historic St Peters Chapel.
The 2013 British Elite Duathlon Championships took place last Sunday, 7th April at Prestwold Airfield in Loughborough, kick starting this year’s elite multisport calendar. The event also included the British Elite Duathlon Youth and Junior Championships, the first races of the 2013 British Triathlon Youth and Junior Super Series.
