I did enter the next day's event,which was to be a sporting 23. An accident meant a change of course AND MORE MILES! but not really really hilly just lumpy and fun. Some said it was a 25, some said it was a 26. Really strong winds but wonderful sunshine and I thought the morning was great (especially the tail wind finish), nice friendly atmosphere in the recently reburbished HQ at Weston with some awesome hand-dryers in the toilets!
It was a repeat of the results with Scott winning with a time of 57.18, Tony Taylor first on standard, Sue first lady. ...

Well here at the World Championships in Bordeaux at last! Mel and I had a small nightmare with flights, resulting in us finally arriving at the team hotel at midnight! However, we also found out we can run pretty rapidly as well....! Although I'm sure everyone must have been laughing at us as we ran all the way to the end of terminal 2, to find out we...
Bex’s elite debut for 2006 was at the Blenheim Triathlon in Oxfordshire. The race was set within the grounds of Blenheim Palace, which provided a splendid backdrop as competitors swam across the lake, and cycled and ran through the grounds of the park.
Bex got off to a great start leading the 750m swim with Henrietta Freeman and Karen Sindall hot in pursuit. Unfortunately, the lead Bex had going into transition was soon diminished as she struggled to get her wetsuit off. Exiting transition 3rd, Bex got into a small group of 3 on the bike, however...
Well the triathlon season is officially underway for Bex, with her first race-taking place at Stratford. This was the first race Bex did last year; so it would be a great benchmark to see the progression she has made over the winter months. The race comprises of a 400m-pool swim, 23km bike and 5km off-road run along the canal.
Straight away Bex established her lead exiting the water 2-minutes ahead of her nearest rival. Onto the bike, and a set of temporary traffic lights put pay to claiming the fastest bike split of the day, but a swift transition and a great run meant that Bex too...
