After a successful event last year we again decided to hold the final event in Barcombe, finishing off with a pub lunch at the Anchor Inn. The event is based around the old Ringmer Duathlon course, adapted by Liz to ensure everyone sticks together. Transitions are neutralised so we don't get too dispersed, with everyone starting each discipline together. This is a popular event with more members participating in this one than any of the other multisport championship races. 

The result was academic as the two leaders in the mens and women competitions could not be caught. However, the male winner here was Alex Bonzi and female Erica Martin. Well done both, and everyone who took part and helped support, watch bikes and bags making the event so enjoyable.  

Liz and Erica both perform well in the Crazy Legs Duathlon coming third in their respective age groups and both qualifying for the European Sprint Duathlon Championships next year. Congratulations both! 

Women's team captain Chelsey Powderhill leads the way in the opening event of the 2023 Multisport Championship beating everyone in a great time of 1:06:51 for the 5k run/20k bike/2.5k run virtual duathlon. Alex Bonzi won the men's race in 1:10:07

Only 8 members took part...let's see more of you at the second event being held at the Mid Sussex Sprint Triathlon on June 11th. 

Erica Martin and Nina Atherton once again performed superbly to come 4th and 6th respectively in their age groups at the competitive European Sprint Duathlon Championships.   

The following day Nigel Lambe, racing for Ireland completed the Standard Distance Duathlon, his first international level race. He said 'today was just about finishing, I pulled some ligaments 4 weeks ago and haven't been able to do any training and was just hoping it would hold together which it did. It was my first race for Ireland, which was amazing'. 

Well done all three of you, representing your countries at European level.
