Bronze medals at Bewl...and Bobby in Estonia
Thursday 11th August 2022
Danielle and Jack take the honours...
Danielle Simpson, in her first standard distance triathlon, demonstrated her huge potential coming third overall in the womens' race in 2:33:25 while the ever impressive Jack Donaghy also picked up a bronze medal in 2:10:40. It was great to see Alex Bonzi back racing again, and doing very well, despite being unable to do any proper run training. Tim Jones also did very well in the men's race and Lewis Hendon-John continues his triathlon improvement since joining the club a year ago.
Erica Martin, Nina Atherton and Liz Halliday all maintained their high standards in the women's race and picked up valuable points in the multisport championship.
Also at Bewl, in the sprint race, new members and partners Nick Cressey and Martina Tiziani had a ding dong battle with Martina pipping Nick late on, towards the end of the run. Both have improved enormously in their short time with the club.
Well done everyone who took part!

Bobby's first 70.3 half iron distance race...
Meanwhile, in Estonia, Bobby Searle had a brilliant race completing the half Ironman 1.9k swim, 90k bike and half marathon in just 5 hours 11 minutes, finishing it by running a 1:34 half marathon! She was 11th out of 58 in her age group and 26th woman overall but second to her brother in the all important Searle family race!
Congratulations Bobby!
