Racing, Racing Everywhere!

The past weekend might require a couple of Blog posts as there were races with D2T athletes in a couple of continents and results are still coming in. We'll start off in the states and work our way back home......

New coach Toby Jameson has headed to the states and finished 27th at St Anthony's - hopefully more to come from him as the distances get longer and the swimming gets less important! Joyce had her first major top 10 result, finishing 9th overall at the Lisboa Half Ironman - more importantly she just pipped her sister in to 10th!

On this side of the channel we had a few athletes at the Elite National Duathlon Champs. Jill and Nicola both had very good races with Jill finishing 4th in the Women and Nicola 5th in the Junior Women. For both of them this is their first real season of elite racing so that was a good start.

I'm still waiting for results from some of the local races but so far know......

Bill was 8th in his Age Group at Ashbourne Duathlon

Steve won the Llandovery Triathlon - his first triathlon win

I won the Plymouth CC 10 mile time trial on my Open Debut - my legs hurt lots now!

More results when I have them.

Hi Pete

Well done on your TT success. Yep, legs tend to get a wee bit sore after one of those!
Just thought I would report in that I won my agae group at Winchester tri last Sunday, 13th overall, Harry might well have let you know, but knowing him , he probably forgot to mention it!!
Just a suggestion for the site, how about a link to all atheletes results and performances, athlete profiles etc. Would be nice to see who else is part of the driventotri world, and how well everyone is doing!! Great to see Toby Jameson on board.
Did you get the order from Harry for my tri top and shorts?
Cheers
