Fiona, 10 days later than planned gave birth to a baby boy. Rory weighed in at 8.9 and is already on the waiting list for Driven To Tri domination. Fiona swam 1.7k 2 days before the birth and is raring to get back in the water now.
At the Europeans Daz won her age group Nicola T finished 3rd along with Vicky, Tracey finished 5th in her Age group whilst Bill also had a good race.
Jack’s threesome.....We’ve been a bit worried about Jack recently with his wedding planned, stag do consigned to the history books and ‘THE’ curfew! Concern rose to such levels that the French trip has been put on hold and Harry will be returning to deliver his Best Man’s speech at the wedding. In the meantime, the D2T team took care of him at the Summer Sizzler triathlon in Poole. The boys took all three slots on the podium. Marcus, the least experience of the three on top; Jack in the middle and Steve bringing up the rear. We’ll censor and then publish the pictures!
Over in Ireland Dave took care of business, knocking 16 minutes off his time from last year at the Hell of the West triathlon and moving up nearly 100 places in the overall rankings. Jane also had a good nearly breaking the 3 hour mark.
Soon to be D2T athlete (if Rory doesn’t snap up his place) Javier had a good race at Cowman but is looking forward to going much faster later in the season. Nathan didn’t have the same success, being forced to pull out on the run but we’re sure he’ll come back stronger for Antwerp
Ryan has been up holding the Driven To Tri off road reputation whilst Jim has been off with a sick note and Julie’s been concentrating on tarmac. Ryan had a solid race at xterra Czech before winning the Afan off road tri by 5 minutes with a 6 minute improvement on last years result.
The Ian and Di head to head battle rages on. Di was first up this time with the women’s only race at Eton over ¾ Olympic distance. Despite bonking on the run Ian couldn’t match her time over the same course a week later. Di maintains her unbeaten record going 3 nil up. Not to be outdone by her parents Emily took part in the scootathon finishing 3rd in her age group and securing the best result by an under 10 for driven to tri this year. Watch out Emily, Rory will be practicing his scooting shortly!
Also at Eton Nathan put his demons to bed from the week before with a solid result.
At Bournemouth Nicola M finished 2nd after flying in from altitude for the race…very pro! Emma proved she’s the pocket rocket on the bike at least with the second fastest ride of the day despite “nearly being drowned” in the swim; we just need to put her good swim days and good bike days together now. Steve had a solid race and an awesome bike split, Marcus continued his domination of the boys and jack was too busy being nervous about his wedding.
Back in Ireland Jane, Joyce and Dave have been proving they can do more racing than we can do blog updating. They towed the line at Loch Ine. Joyce finished second 2nd, Dave took 4 minutes off his time from last year and Jane got around on a tough day.
At Portland’s race to the Bill Becky was 3rd with the fastest run split for the girls, South West academy athlete Niall managed to finish second overall.
Other results: Jill took 1st at the Property triathlon whilst Rhys finished his build up to the national sprint champs on Saturday with a win at his local race.
Phew thats me done, hopefully more wins to report after the weekend, ideally i'll be telling you how Pete and I nailed the french grand Prix.
