Here, There and Everywhere......

That seems to sum up the weekend quite well as every set of results we looked seemed to see a D2T name pop up. It's great to see so many athletes out racing fast this early on in the season and makes the performance of the week a difficult decision......... Those in contention who deserve a little clap:

Emma - 2nd at the OWS aquathon despite missing the 'false' start.
Nicky - Winner of the Cotswold Super Sprint Triathlon
Alex and Steve B - 3rd and 5th at Dorchester
Fran - 1st in Age group at Dorchester
Steve F - Notching up his 2nd win in Driven to Tri colours
Piers - Did well in something that involved Mountain Bikes and Maps - apparently he'd have done better if it didn't involve maps!

But the winner is.......

Di - 1.17 at Cotswold Super Sprint and just over a minute ahead of Ian! Bragging rights guaranteed for the rest of the week!

Harry and I were the only coaches in action - we decided to keep it local before the proper travelling starts. Harry won the Devon 3k champs and I won Exe Valley Sprint which is always a great race put on by Exeter Tri Club.

That's all folks......

Bank Holiday Madness!

It's been a crazy weekend of racing and D2T were at the forefront of the competition around the country and even abroad for some of the coaches!

We've got to start with the star performance of the weekend which goes to Nicci Threlfall for her victory at the Tri Nations event at Dorney lake! Not far behind her was fellow Big Weekender Javier who successfully managed to navigate his way round the Eton Course in 1.08. Proof that hardcore Big Weekends do work! Becki, another Big Weekender stepped up at the BUSA champs to finish 14th with associate D2T athlete (Wannabe) Dr James Gill hiding his head in shame after failing to beat all the girls!

We had a good presence at the New Forest Triathlon. Piers was a bit under the weather but put together a solid race to bike faster than last year and finish in 2.04. Sure there's plenty more in the tank when he's on tip top form. Tracy had her usual great swim and held on to finish 6th female and 2nd in her age group. Rich Iles always puts on great race so get down there over the summer if you can.

Out in the states Toby finished 18th at St Croix whilst Jim was still nursing a sore achilles so had to give Xterra Las Vegas a miss!

Onto the single sports and Barry, on the comeback trail after a horrific bike crash last year posted 1.22 at the Great West Half - great to see you back in action and beginning to fly already! Fran won the Portland 10k whilst in the pool Nicola posted a 2 second PB over 400 free at the Western Counties, no excuse for missing the front pack now!
