Lions Duathlon/Triathlon Events Sunday 9th June 2013
Great racing at the Lions events in Bexhill yesterday. Emma Faulkner & birthday boy David Palmer raced the Classic Distance Duathlon. (4km Run 40km Bike 10km Run) Emma was in 1st place after the bike but was just pipped to the win to come home 2nd lady overall! Dave put in a strong performance spurred on by the thought of birthday beers at the end!
Next up was Tamsin Mowbray & Tom Brampton in the Standard Distance Tri. A deceptive current made the swim tough but both had great races, Tamsin gaining a 2nd in her Age Group.
Ben Evett (in his 1st ever Sprint Distance Tri) had a good solid race. Ben found the swim leg hard & undoubtedly learned a huge amount to take forward to his next one. Adrian Collins also raced the Sprint & judging by the way he came over the line had given it his all! Very well done to all & thanks to supporters & Mike Stokes for all the photos.
