Fast and furious duathlon
Monday 17th October 2016
5K run / 20K bike / 5K run - Sunday 9 October 2016
This was the last of the five multisport events that made up our Club Multisport Championship this year.
Based in the village of Eynsford in Kent it provided the duathlon part of the competition and four of us ventured up into Kent on the surprisingly cold morning to try to improve our chances. We did our club proud. Patrick Acaye shot off at the front of the first 5K run only to be undone by a wrong turn on the bike course. Patrick is very new to multisport and will be a force to be reckoned with once he has mastered the navigation. Erica Martin took advantage of this runner’s biased course and won the women’s race. Liz Halliday was first over 50 woman (and pleased to be second vet woman, so beat all but one of the over 40s too). Malcolm Hughes was third over 50 man despite still in his warm-up gear when the starter set us off. So three trophies, and so nearly four.
(Thanks Liz Halliday for this report)
