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. 

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. 

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. 

Iain Robertson took part in the Alpe d’huez Triathlon, which has been won by some of the biggest names in the sport, including the unbeaten World Ironman Champion Chrissie Wellington. 

Yet another TORQ team member receives an Overall Age Group win at the British Triathlon Championships. 

We bring two very contrasting race reports from the UK’s premier big one; Eleanor Haresign has been successfully racing hard on the long distance scene this season. 

Not content with watching the race, Iain Robertson grasped the opportunity to add another win to his name. 

The European Championships is a qualification race with a limited field, which ensures the standards are very high.
