Tom and Elaine completed their first Olympic distance triathlon at Padstow, a tough triathlon with a sea swim and an off-road run so more the achievement for them both.

Mike May ventured west to run in the Bristol Half Marathon, finishing in 1:43:27 and 17th in the MV60 category.
Large snowdrifts caused minor rerouting, but didn’t prevent some fast times, including a new PB for Debbie.

On a perfect day for it I finished the London Triathlon yesterday. For my first Olympic distance tri I’m happy with finish time, but sadly a painful and unshakable stitch 1K into the run slowed my run down to a jog and prevented me from going sub 2:30. We’ll see if I can make it at Dorney later this month.
If any other dashers competed please comment or mail and I’ll put your times up.

A set of huge PB’s for Steve & Michelle Hopkins, with Steve taking nearly a minute off the PB he set at race 2 of this series last month, making nearly a 2 minute improvement over the season. Michelle meanwhile took 1:21 off her best time, and with Paul and Brent both running their best times of the year I think that counts as a successful evening. Congratulations.

Congratulations to Steve and Mike for excellent podium places, and to Rosie Delaney who finished as 3rd Vet Lady and winning her first ever prize. Has she stopped smiling yet I wonder?
