Hart Triathlon  May 1st 2000

From our reporter in  the field

Mike on cycle Mike still on cycle


We were blessed again this year with fine weather as the previous year. The turn out from the club was a staggering three, Mike, Wendy and Katie flying the colours!

The course for this year was slightly different with an added 1.2 miles of road due to some rather large earth works, which have been happening over the last few weeks.

The overall performance was good with many newcomers attending and two rather naive young ladies who decided to ride side by side and discuss the forthcoming run... the draft buster had other ideas and after explaining and demonstrating the two foot rule they were allowed to carry on in single file... 

Wendy must have been greased lightening because I/we missed her totally (sorry Wendy nothing personal) but Mike we saw and after the very quick piece of bike maintenance and slightly late start was on his way 9:22 for the swim and still smiling. Out for the bike and away on the 22km.

Upon return some 40 odd minutes later still smiling, bike racked and out for the run, same course as last year but with the addition of a little mud and finally home AND STILL SMILING. 1:18:40    well done Mike!!!

More from your roving reporter next time folks....
