British Racing, Foreign Riding and Breakfast

A short update from the weekend where we had quite a few athletes racing at home or hitting the bike miles abroad.

Tracy headed to South Cerney for the Olympic distance race to finish off her prep for Europeans in two weeks time. Despite some slight confusion over the run course and distance a good swim and bike followed by ‘grinding’ out a tired run saw her place 2nd overall. Becky made her seasons debut the same race and after a long break from racing produces a solid performance to finish 6th overall.

Jill returned to the Age Group ranks and followed on from her elite success at Windsor by winning the National Age group Champs overall. It made a change for Jill to be near the front of a swim and pretty soon she was leading on the bike meaning she was able to run controlled and pick up her first national title.

There were some big Driven to Tri bike miles going on at the weekend with Dave and Jane both completing a 200k sportive in Ireland whilst Kate and Piers were hitting the alpine climbs for up to 8 hours at a time. Just as importantly, Barry apparently has his Mojo back post last years crash and smacked out 60 miles over the weekend!

This week's photo is of Harry eating his 3rd breakfast 60k into our very hilly ride in the mountains!
