Sunday was the Cheltenham Triathlon in the beautiful surroundings of the Sandford Park Lido. The race is a super sprint over the following distances:
Swim - 500m (10 lengths of the pool)
Bike - 15km around Cheltenham
Run - 2.8km around the Lido and surrounding area
It's
a great event hosted with the aim of the game being participation and
fun. You get every type of triathlete attending from those with aero
helmets and full carbon bikes to MTB's and bikes with baskets. This
year there were around 700 entrants including three of the tri-club;
Mark on the last day of his 40's, Stoddy in the last year of his 30's
and Marcus er aged 40.
We all completed the event in the following times with finish places out of the 410 male participants that completed the event.
Nigel - 40th position in 00:52:04
Marcus - 57 position in 00:53:28
Mark - 88th position in 00:56:01
an
honorary mention for Rob Barnes who in his first ever triathlon, with
(I believe) no training completed the event in 01:16:47 finishing 381st.
The last male competitor completed the course in 04:03:22 with the winner completing it in a blistering 00:44:20!
