Veteran triathlete, Dave Mawhinney, decided that his 16th long course race (2.4m swim, 112m bike & 26.2m run) should be the European Championships, which occurred in Weymouth this year. 

This is the 2nd year the Oundle Magnificent Outlaw 10k has been run and everyone told me beforehand to expect a race that was as beautiful as it was brutal.  

Here’s a quick round up from Nick Shasha, who he has pretty much won his Age Group in all of the races he entered across the South East of England. 

We love a good Sprint Triathlon, when every ounce of effort is given for approximately an hour. 

Alex Lawton, the defending champion, got some favorable conditions and devoured the course, which resulted in him winning the event and taking a course record in this infamous race. 

Phil Martin is relatively new to the world of running, having only started racing competitively around 2 years ago, but he has already proved that he has what it takes to make the podium. 

Mel has put in some stunning rides this year in the lead up to the National 10m TT, but sometimes things just don’t come right on the day …

In the eight years that have past since doing any serious time trialling, the competition has become fierce in women’s racing with PB’s tumbling down all aided by the introduction of power meters, faster equipment, better aerodynamics and more intelligent training.  

Dave maintains his Vitruvian title for the 3rd year running…

This would be my third time competing in the Vitruvian Middle Distance Triathlon. 

Chris Standidge is one bad ass Age Grouper, he doesn’t appear to recognise the professional tier of racing, anybody in front is just another target, which he duly motors down. 

Birmingham Tri is quite a popular race in the Midlands, this year is was completely dominated by the British Champion. 

Having enjoyed a week away on holiday and a Summer of racing on the track, this was to be my first race wearing the TORQ kit and I was looking forward to my first 10k event.  

After almost two months of missed training, following a stroke diagnosed in June, Louise dives in at the deep end with the Scottish Track Championships…

So after all my bad news and not being able to do any proper training for the best part of seven weeks, I made the ridiculous decision to ride the Scottish Track Champs.
