Massive congratulations to Jon Hardy, who ran the Race to the King Ultra marathon (53.5 miles) last weekend.  He finished in just over 13 hours – an amazing result in incredibly tough conditions

Congratulations also to Kirsty who came second overall in the Cotswold Sprint Triathlon on Sunday.  She swam, biked and ran a PB of 1 hour 9 mins.. (the first time ever she has achieved a sub 1 hour 10 in a sprint tri).  Kirsty was first in her 35-39 age group.

If you fancy training for a sprint triathlon – it’s not to late to start now.  How about joining us at the Season Finale Triathlon in Eton Dorney on the 16th September:

Congratulations to Dave and Sean who, last weekend conquered the 113 – a half iron distance race in the Cotswolds.  They both smashed the swim in just over half an our each, cycled 56 miles and then both ran the half marathon is just over 2 hours – an amazing achievement well done.  Dave came home in 5 hours 25 minutes and Sean in 5 hours 40 minutes – and it was hot too!!

This update comes a little late in the week – but it gives me the opportunity to give you the Blenheim triathlon update!

Blenhiem weekend was hot and tough but brilliant fun as ever and the most fantastic atmosphere.   The Trihards competed on Saturday Kirsty, Andy G, Steve B and Emma (me!).  Well done also to Jonathon who raced on Sunday.

Kirsty won her age group – she is officially number 1 lady in the 35 – 39 age category.. she finished in an amazing 1 hour 23 minutes.  Steve B was 6th in his age group and finished in an incredible 1 hour 21 mins.. his swim time of 11 and a half minutes is absolutely brilliant.  Andy and I finshed just 8 seconds apart in 1 hour 28 minutes.  It was a PB for me at Blenheim.. and an amazing time for Andy who was at Blenheim for the first time.  I must admit that Andy would definitely have beaten me if he had not been held up during the swim leg while marshals evacuated someone from the water!
