Fantasy Tour de France 2010
So with the 2010 edition of the Tour de France over it's time to look at the performance of the Shurdington Tri club fantasy TDF (powered by http://road.cc/)
Against the odds an invigorated @martyuk71 was El Pistolero with a winning margin of 80 points over the competitor from the lowlands, er Wales not Luxembourg @Stoddy72. Completing the podium is @mbosano a massive 245 points behind the eventual winner. The Lanterne Rouge was Mark and his Kaiser Express team. That leaves @thebooy in peloton mediocrity of 4th spot.
Look at the stage wins and the story is familiar with @martyuk71 doing a remarkable impression of Cav' and crossing the line first on 11 stages, @Stoddy72 is 2nd on stage wins with 6, @mbosano 3rd with 3 just one ahead of @thebooy with 2 stage wins. Kaiser Express failed to register a single stage win throughout the race.

Mazda Blenheim Sprint Triathlon June 6th 2010
Sunday 6th June saw the Blenheim Sprint Triathlon taking place with Shurdington Tri Club representatives in the shape of Nigel and Martin taking part in the sprint. Amelie would make it three musketeers by taking part in the Active Kids duathlon.
Race blogs are to follow from the racers (hopefully) but the results are in:
Nigel in an excellent club performance blew his previous Blenheim time apart by just short of 6minutes and also now holds the tri-club record over the course.

Gloucester Triathlon 30-May-2010
Mark kept the Triathlon dream alive for another weekend by competing in the Gloucester Sprint Triathlon on Sunday.
In his own words....
"...Bit dissapointing.......again. So much for a top 50 spot.
82nd out of 192 finishers in 1:26:42
25th in Male Veterans out of 52
Would have needed a 1:22:25 for a top 50 placing. I blame it totally on the wind which was at its strongest when I got on the bike but stopped completely when I got to T2...!
A bit of a sobering start as my swim was delayed 15 minutes due to cyclist having a nasty accident on a speed hump just before finish of ride. Paramedics and Ambulance attended and he was placed in a neck brace after going over handlebars and landing on his face. I understand he was kept in Hospital overnight but is OK.
Another messy swim with three other swimmers who all seemed to be within a few metres. The new 26km two lap bike course was testing in the wind which meant yet again the legs would not change gear on the run. This time it felt like I was in reverse. Good event, well organised and a great bike cleaning kit goody bag. So worth it...
Roll on 2011 when I can join the Super Veterans...... Keep on tri-ing..."
Next up is Blenheim Sprint Triathlon when Martin breaks his proper triathlon cherry in a head to head with Nigel. Amelie will be making it three musketeers on the day by taking part in the kids diathlon.
