Spencer Lee – Leeds Olympic Distance, 3:00:33 and Wimbleball 70.3,  7:37:41. Both gutsy performances.

Richard Jones’s athletes raced strongly:

Brendan Connor - Ironman Austria, 12:20:00.  A challenging race for Brendan as injury had prevented him running for 8 weeks and his electronic bike gears stopped working during the race so he had to change manually.

Andrea Whitcombe’s athletes recorded some fine 70.3 and Middle Distance results:

Niven Robinson – IM Switzerland 70.3, 59th AG, 5:05:12.  Niven backed up a strong swim and bike with a fine run split.

Nora Holford - Multi Terrain Half Marathon, 1:55:00.  A pb over the course from the previous year.

Ray Zabarte – Staffordshire 70.3, 7:26:58.  A gritty performance from Ray.
