Paul Lunn finished 3rd from over 200 competitors in the first
domestic triathlon of the season, organised by RaceTime Events over at
Desford in Leicestershire. Paul was happy with "a great start to the
year.... now time to start getting longer. Next stop VLM next
weekend...."
Distances were:
swim 400 meters.
bike 11.25 miles.
run 3 miles.
Paul was 35th out of the water, but had both the 2nd fastest bike
and run legs, (as well as the fastest second transition), to finish
just 2 1/2 minutes down on the winner for a well deserved podium finish.
Both Christina Cork and Sue Davys showed some good early
season form to complete a trio of PACTRACers coming 2nd in their
respective Age Group's. Duncan Philp completed his first ever Open
Triathlon and picked up some places in his favoured run discipline.
Happy with her position as 4th Lady overall, Christina commented: "It
was a bit blowy today. Great swim. Hard bike. Awful run. Some training
lessons to take away!"
