3 separate races took place at Belvoir Castle,including the British Age-Group Middle Distance Championships.
Distances were:
swim 1900 metre's - 2 laps in the lake.
bike 46 miles on local country roads with a few challenging climbs.
run 12.5 miles - 4 laps within the grounds, including the notorious short sharp hill up
to the Castle.
Dave Patmore-Hill competed in the run section as
part of the winning team, team Erdinger, in the Championships.
"2013 National Middle Distance Relay Champs! Splits: Alex Gowans swim 31 mins, Pete Gowans bike 2 hrs 18
mins, Dave Patmore-Hill run 1 hr 23. Final time 4 hrs 12 mins."
Alex came out of the swim and put the team in 72nd
position overall. Pete then took them to 36th overall on the bike and
Dave raced hard to finish 10th. Dave said that his "run was challenging
as the total ascent on the run was 965ft, so lots of ups and downs".
Dave was 2nd in his Age Group the week before at the Swashbuckler half-
ironman, so put in a good performance with tired legs.
Results:
10th overall. Team Erdinger 31:10 2:18:05 1:23:18 = 4:12:33 1st team.
