Despite really awful conditions, both Neale and Rob completed Ironman Bolton – a truly awesome performance. Well done to both of you.
Meanwhile, Simon won his age category and picked up a really nice souvenir cycle top at Windermere sprint Triathlon.
How would you fancy riding from London to Stockport? A bit far maybe? Janet thought it would be a good idea. 322km with nearly 3300m of elevation.
If you don’t fancy that, how about riding from Stockport to Llandudno? How about turning around and riding back? Well, that’s what John did: close to 350km and 2000m of elevation.
So impressive: makes a day of the Tour de France look a bit tame.
This week’s star is Alex for completing the Lakesman full distance despite a puncture and going a few miles extra on the bike.
Also competing up in the Lakes were Rob and Amanda.
David raced in the Sprint Duathlon at Mallory Park.
Samantha and Amjad aced the Ultimate Tri in Shropshire.
Paul and Mike were at Cholmondley, competing in the middle and standard distances respectively.
Scott, Martin, Eve and Ian were at Nottingham for the Outlaw 70.3.
WELL DONE to everyone!
A bit short of pictures in the Gallery this week but if you want any added, put them on the members’ facebook page.
A few event for Sockport Tri’ers this week:
Paul A and Paul F took part in the Great North Swim over a distance of 2 miles.
Paul G did the swim and bike leg of the Chester Middle Distance.
Gillian, Laura and Mike all raced at the Openswim Aquathon at Sale Water Park, cheered on by three home grown marshals.
As usual, some pictures are in the Gallery.
As well as our own Open Water Aquathon, Club members were busy competing at; the A J Bell Leeds Triathlon, Dunham Massey duathlon, Tallington Lakes Triathlon, Oulton Park Duathlon and Lakeland Trails marathon. (And probably some others!)
As usual, there are some pictures in the Gallery. Those I’ve missed will be on the facebook members’ page.
On a roasting Bank Holiday Sunday we had four epic racers. Pictures are in the Gallery.
More Stockport Tri members braved the weather to compete in a number of events this weekend: Horwich Triathlon, Heaton Park half marathon, Harewood House 10K and half, Darley Moor sprint Duathlon and Northumberland Tri. Vic, David, Gillian, Simon, Michael and Paul were active while Chris had a more relaxed time by volunteering at Horwich Tri.
Check out the Gallery for a few pictures.
Martin, Nina, Gareth and Benjamin graced Southport Tri with their presence today; Michael and Robin were at the Airport Duathlon.: well done to all of you! Any pictures submitted will be posted in the Gallery.
It was rumoured that Mike and Les were well placed in latest stage of the Giro d’Italia but this was later found to be a hoax. (In their heads maybe.)
If you’d like to enter either the Open Water Aquathon on the June 5th at Sale Water Park or the Open Water Triathlon on August 8th at Manley Mere, Frodsham (or both!), please follow the link on the main page to “Races for 2021”.
