Bath Hilly Half Marathon Results

27th November 2011

This was very tough half marathon and 0.7 of mile long due to a marshal mistake!

Well organised, apart from the detour! You get a nice finishers medal and running t-shirt with your name on afterwards.

My legs did not hurt this much after a marathon! But I very much enjoyed it and would recommend this race for next year.

At the end it was strange being offered beer or water, jaffa cakes, flapjack or a carrot?????   I couldn’t manage the beer, watching Andy I was unsure if he was enjoying it or not so thought it was best to stick to the water!

I would like to thank Philippa for sending me the details of this race; I really enjoyed it and thought it was bargain at £7 each with a free cup of tea and only £1.50 for a roll and chocolate cake afterwards.

It was a good end of season race, well organised by Chippenham Wheelers and great to see 12 people from the club racing and enjoying it. This is definitely in the calendar for next year and lets hope we can get a few teams from the club racing.

Langport Tri – Sunday 18th September

This did not start too well, I’ve been working in the Isle of Man and the flight back to Gloucester was a little rough to say the least, still it’s been worse.
I had a free entry for this event as I was Refereeing with Paul Lester who organises the Taunton Tri, we were sharing the duties with me off first at 8:45 so I could get back for Paul to go out.
It started as a disaster right from the beginning, first tri for two years and putting on my goggles the elastic snapped, lesson learnt there then. I had only swum once this year, the week before the tri !!!
Apart from no goggles the swim was my usual poor effort made even worse with no practice but the pool although open air was nice and warm, this was a blessing in disguise as it was pouring with rain and I was getting cold waiting for the start, so swim over off I plod to T1, not too bad, luckily I’ve a rear light set up on the bike so after a reasonable transition off I went, the first left turn at Langport comes up quite quickly and I remembered going into a slide at this bend the last time I did it in 1999 (I do like to keep all my records). After the turn the rain got harder and it was getting very difficult to see, there was loads of standing water and half way out on the bike there is a long hill, not particularly steep but it goes on, on turning left to start the hill the road surface felt strange, I looked down and the rear wheel seemed ok and I had new tyres and tubes so didn’t think it was a puncture, I continued until about half way up the hill when I had a strange vibration and knew it was a flat, now if you’ve ever tried to change a tube in the pouring rain, no glasses ( I put my contacts in for the race ), new Continental evo paves which they use on Paris Rubeaux fitted to Zipps you will know what a job it is, this took me 32 mins ( on Garmin ) and two very sore thumbs. I started to panic now realising I had to get back so pushed hard, making the power meter alarm have a head fit but luckily the rain had stopped and I eventually arrived at T2, I was going to stop there and retire but Paul said I had loads of time ( hasn’t seen me run before) so off I trotted, through the field of rather cross Geese up and down the lane and back to the finish. Although it was a disaster I did enjoy it as I do like Langport and making allowances for the puncture I was 12 minutes slower than in 1999 so that’s not too bad, I would of finished third in class, perhaps 2nd had I tried a bit more on the run !!!

Ironman Wales Results Analysis: Compared to Ironman UK

Congratulations to the 1134 triathletes who completed the inaugural Ironman Wales triathlon in an average time of 13:02. Any race over the 13 hour mark is one of the toughest in the world, and the 12% DNF rate, also one of the highest of all ironman events, proves the point.

With two races in the United Kingdom, each known for difficulty (UK average finish time in 2010 was 13:01, nearly identical to 2011 Wales, though in 2011 UK was much faster at 12:35), we compared the two by age group to see how comparable the courses may be.

 

A great event well supported – there were 6 food stations including a full lunch at Theal – Just for info we got a bus home!  our bikes were returned to bristol on trucks.

Velo Club V Kingswood Tri 10m TT

Firstly, I would like to thank everyone for attending the Velo Club Vs KIT Time Trial on Tuesday – whether you raced or supported it was a great showing from both clubs.

A big thank you to Ken, John, Steve, Colin, Phil, Ron and Dave Foxwell from the Velo Club for timekeeping and marshalling, without you guys the event couldn’t have happened.

Thanks to Katharine for taking all the photos and Simon for helping me to organise the event.

It was a really good evening and everyone seems to have thoroughly enjoyed it.  It was also great to have some friendly competition and a social afterwards!

Now down to the serious part:

I’m sorry to say but the Velo Club beat us with an average time of 26 mins 28 secs, compared to our average time of 27 mins 02 secs.
