PACTRAC's Antony Brown took the SILVER Medal in his Age Group at the British Sprint Championships at Eton Dorney on Saturday. Antony recorded a time of 1:08:32 for 109th place overall. He came out of the 750 metre lake swim 8th in his Age Group, before having the fastest bike split in his AG to propel him up the field. He recorded almost 25mph for the 13.25 miles on the bike. The 3rd fastest run then allowed him to hold onto the Silver Medal.
Antony was ahead at the start of the run and leading his Age Group; but was caught with 1-mile to go and missed out on being the British Sprint Champion by just 30 seconds (his transitions were 26 seconds slower than the AG winners).
109. Antony Brown 12:37 34:39 21:16 = 68:32 AG 2nd.

515 cyclists from both near and far entered the Marholm Cycle Sportive on Sunday. This was organised by 6 members of the local Fenland Clarion Cycling Club and offered distances of 50 miles, 70 miles or 100 miles. All of the distances proved popular, with the riders all going around Rutland Water, taking in the far side of Oakham and the longer 100 miler going as far north as Belvoir Castle. Four Feed Stations were available to the riders, who also enjoyed glorious sunshine, a head wind finish and lots of cakes at the finish, provided by the local villagers of Marholm, who all came out to help. All proceeds go to local charities and the next ride is from the same venue on Sunday 17th August. See www.peterborough5x5challenge.org for entry details.
