16 PACTRACers finished the Dambuster Triathlon at Rutland Water on
Saturday. This was a prestigious race, as it was also the National
Championships this year.
Distances were:
swim 1500 metres - 1 lap in the cold, choppy lake at Rutland Water.
bike 26 miles - 1 lap of Oakham, Uppingham, Morcott, Ketton and
Empingham including the triple hills of the "Rutland Ripple" between
Oakham and Uppingham, as well as the hill at Steadfold Lane, Ketton.
run 6 miles - out to the Dam, across and back twice, then home.
Simon Hoppe was the best placed with a 3rd place in his Age Group, thus
taking a Bronze medal in his Age Group in these National Championships.
This race was also 1 of 4 in the PACTRAC Club Championships, where an
athlete's best 3 races count. Simon now has an unasailable lead with a
maximum of 300 points and is, therefore, the CLUB CHAMPION. All other
categories are still being fought for.
