Team WhittleFit racing roundup - 12th & 13th August 2017

 

This weekend we had quite a few WhittleFit coached athletes racing, we had athletes racing in south and west Wales, the Cotswolds and Germany, lets see how they got on:

• Ironman Hamburg: Craig Burrows raced Ironman Hamburg yesterday, chasing a sub-10 time over the Ironman distance. Craig raced very well over the 3 disciplines and came home in an amazing time of 9hr54min. Very well done Craig, all your hard work paid off!
• Swim to the Edge: Mark Binding took part in the Swim to the Edge swim on Saturday (which is part of the Solva Edge Festival weekend), this is a tough 2.5 mile swim where you swim out of Solva harbour, around Green Scar Rock and back to the harbour. Nice work Mark, this will stand you in good stead for Ironman Dublin 703 this coming weekend.  
• Gower Triathlon: we had lots of athletes racing at the Gower sprint triathlon on Saturday, including Cath Colleypriest (13th in age group, Emma Reffel (12th in age group), Lowri Bowen (10th in age group) and Craig Patterson (6th in age group); well done all!
• Burry Port Triathlon: Congratulations to Andrew Fraser Cole coming 3rd vet at the RNLI Burry Port Triathlon and to Guto Griffiths for completing his first ever Olympic distance triathlon, well done guys!
• Cotswolds Classic Triathlon: Congratulations to Trevor Batey and Geraint Jones who raced the Cotswolds Classic middle distance triathlon on Sunday, Trevor came 2nd in his age group (4hr28mins) and Geraint came 23rd in his age group (5hr5mins), great racing!
