The final race of the ITU world champs was held in Budapest over the weekend and this also culminated in the age group races for the world champs.
After a good couple of months of racing Simon raced in his age group for GB, whilst I am yet to find out overall placing, Simon has managed another PB for the year with a 2:01. Well done on achieving such an amazing time.
Update on 2 really great results over the weekend
Simon raced Antwerp 70.3 treating the race with a view of “dipping the toe in the water” to try out some longer distance racing. All the training for the year has been tailored around Standard distance. Simon flew around the course in a sub 4:30 (4:28) and picked up a slot for the world champs in Clearwater along the way, well done
Eleanor went to race Milton Keynes standard distance after a great race at Upton just a couple of weeks ago. A major goal for the year was to get under the 2:30 mark for this distance, which was achieved with a time of 2:28 a new pb by around 8 minutes. To top the day off this great time also placed her 3rd in her age group. Well done
Well done to all those who Race Upton Tri recently, from all reports a great day and another great race, although the current of the river was not as strong this year as in previous years.
Special congratulations to both Eleanor who was 2nd female and 2nd in her age group and Tamsin who was 2nd in her age group both in the Standard Distance race. Great results Ladies.
Congratulations to Simon who competed for GB in Athlone ETU championship race at the weekend. He achieved 13th in his age group and a new PB by 4minutes. A great achievement peaking for the right races. Well done.
