In the Brownlee Triathlon held at Fountains Abbey
in Yorkshire, the distances were rather short and unique:
swim 400 meters in the lake
bike 6.25 miles
run 1.5 miles.
PACTRAC's Nathan
Tweedie finished 6th overall and 4th in his Age Group. He followed
Jonathan Brownlee (2012 World Champion) out of the lake, just 1 second
behind. Alastair had a running injury flair up in the Hyde Park World
Championships the week before, but gallantly competed nonetheless. Even
so, Nathan was one of just 7 athletes to beat Alastair on the run, and
wasn't far behind the overall winner, Jonny Brownlee in the run.
864 athletes completed this challenge and met the Brownlee Brothers, so 6th
place was very impressive.
1. Jonny Brownlee 5:01 1:24 16:57 0:33 8:43 = 32:38
4. Alistair Brownlee 6:54 1:24 16:27 0:15 9:20 = 34:20
6. Nathan Tweedie 5:02 1:35 18:56 0:36 9:01 = 35:10

Yolanda Gratton was pleased with her Berlin
Marathon time at the weekend. Yolanda achieved a new PB in the Berlin
Marathon in a time of 3:15:37. "A great race. Does change the emphasis
on running Chicago Marathon in two weeks time, what was going to be a
nice steady jog has now turned to determination to get under 3:15 -
only 1.5 seconds quicker per mile - sounds so easy - not!!!"
