Inspite of Saturday night's snow which caused the Bourne Frostbite to
be cancelled, the Quadrathlon and Run,Bike,Run off-road races at
Wadenhoe, both still went ahead. Numbers were hugely reduced, mainly
due to driving conditions on the road, and those that did venture out,
were keen to get started. A nice thick layer of snow covered the
ground, and the athletes reported having a "fantastic time".
Rob Hammond won the final Run,Bike,Run race, whilst Steve Giles won the
overall series.
Roz Giles won the Ladies series in both the Quadrathlon and the Run,
Bike,Run.

9 PACTRACers took part in the Series. Only 3 competitors took part in
the final Quadrathlon, whilst just 8 were in the Run,Bike,Run. The snow
the previous evening put a lot of people off. Indeed the Frostbite at
Bourne was cancelled on the same day, which allowed 6 PACTRACers to
compete amongst the 11 competitor's. Rob Hammond took his first ever
victory in the Run,Bike,Run whilst Roz Giles was 1st lady home.
With 2 events to count in each race, and only 4 races, Roz Giles was
able to win both the Quadrathlon and Run,Bike,Run for the ladies
overall. Unfortunately, husband Steve, was ill for the first race, and,
therefore, concentrated on winning the Run,Bike,Run. Having won that,
he decided to have a go at the Quadrathlon in the last race. This is
the 2nd consecutive year that Steve has won the overall Run,Bike,Run
series.
The 2nd race of the series was also the PACTRAC Off-Road Duathlon
Championship, which Steve Giles dually won, winning the race overall by
5 minutes from Rob Hammond. 3 of the 4 RBR races were won by
PACTRACers, namely Nathan Smith, Steve Giles and Rob Hammond.
