World Duathlon Championship Adelaide

Unread post by GOG »

On 18th October the undernoted club members overcame travel,weather and time difference problems to record marvelous results at the ITU Duathlon World Championships in Adelaide.

The event consisted of a 10K run,40k bike ride and a 5K run.

Jez Tomlinson,(55-59) was 3rd overall and first GB finisher in a time of 2:07:00
Fiona Bracegirdle,(20-24) was 2nd overall and first GB finisher in a time of 2:15:05
Ailsa Hall,(55-59) was 13th overall and 2nd GB finisher in a time of 2:42:55

I am sure Jez and Ailsa will not mind my selecting Fiona's performance for special mention as only 42 seconds covered the first four finishers in her event.Once again efficient transitions proved decisive as the seconds she gained meant the difference between winning the silver medal and finishing in fourth position.
