bexhill lions Duathlon/triathlon 13th july 2014
Great racing on the seafront on a glorious summer day with 7 members competing in either the Classic Duathlon (4km run 40km cycle10km run), Sprint Triathlon (750m swim 20km cycle 5km run) or the Standard Triathlon (1500m swim 40km cycle 10km run).
1st to start was Brian Spiers in the Classic Duathlon, a strong performance, Brian's times were:
Run 19:30 Cycle 1:32:58 Run 59:28 Total 2:57:35
5 members opted for the Sprint Tri. The sea swim is always a challenge especially with a strong undercurrent. Lorna Cotter bravely battled on but found the bouy she was aiming for wasn't getting any closer! Very well attempted as Lorna has only recently started sea swimming and the experience she gained was invaluable for her next attempt. She went on to complete the bike & the run in true brt spirit!
Meanwhile there was a battle royal going on between Ben & Dave which made for a very exciting finish! Our very own Tri coach Ali Marshman recorded a fantastic swim time although he was then spotted drying his face in transition! (Could knock off a few seconds there Ali!)
Times were:
Ali Marshman Swim 16:19 Bike 39:33 Run 23:17 Total 1:21:53
Dave Palmer Swim 23:43 Bike 36:56 Run 23:55 Total 1:27:16
Ben Evett Swim 21:37 Bike 41:48 Run 21:57 Total 1:27:30
Tamsin Mowbray Swim 24:18 Bike 43:16 Run 30:01 Total 1:40:50
Tom Brampton opted for the Standard Distance Tri with 2 laps of the tough swim section. Tom record times of:
Swim 38:05 Bike 1:22:10 Run 49:31 Total 2:52:42
