Kim Bell competed at the Windsor Triathlon in the Elite Race. Distances were;
swim - 1500 meters in the Thames. Kim was in the lead group of 3 swimmers with a 30-second advantage over the chasing pack.
bike - All 3 left T1 together in a Draft-legal format, meaning that they could work together on the bike, which was 25 miles. Kim's plan to get an advantage on the bike worked. When the big group behind caught them up, Kim was safely tucked in and held onto the group into T2.
run - 6.25 miles. Kim had achieved her plan, and ran hard to finish 12th overall in the women's Elite field.
12. Kim Bell 19:24 69:00 47:29 = 2:15:53

Katie Tasker was PACTRAC's sole representative in the Norwich Junior Triathlon, and came a highly creditable 6th out of 20. Katie was a year younger than all the girls who finished above her. This was her best complete race to date, with all 3 aspects being solid!
This result bodes well for the rest of the season.
15. Katie Tasker (Tristar 2) 3:49 12:10 8:35 = 24:34 6th female.

Paul Vernon ran away with the honours in the 3rd PACTRAC Mini-Series Triathlon of the season.
The first swimmer out was Matthew Greenhill, closely followed by Jim Carmichael. The chasers were more spread out than usual, with none of the first five swimmers out, finishing in the overall top ten. Paul Vernon was 6th out of the water, and had both the fastest bike and fastest run of the night. He caught Matthew on the bike and came into T2 39 seconds ahead of him. Matthew had to pull out on the run, which left Steve Giles to move into 2nd, nearly 3-minutes behind Paul and Andy Gregg 3rd, another 3-minutes behind.
16 of the 29 competitors recorded PBs on the night.
