3/6 Woodhall Spa Triathlon
The Woodhall Spa Triathlon, the last event of the Midlands series, saw just over 500 competitors give it their all in very wet and windy conditions, with the transition area becoming a bit of a mud bath.
Patrick Cutmore completed the course in 1:09:19 coming 24th overall and 2nd in his age group. With a consistent 2nd in each event Patrick won the series overall for his age category. Nigel Eastaugh stuck through the poor conditions on his first ever triathlon and finished in a very good time of 1:30:08 coming in 292nd place overall.
Natalie Eastaugh finished in another very good time of 1:35:48 coming 360th overall. Louise Allen also took part but was unfortunate enough to be handed the wrong timing chip at registration, however being well prepared timed the event herself and finished in 1:18:00. |
26/5 Nottingham Big Speedo Triathlon
Patrick Cutmore competed at the Nottingham Big Speedo Triathlon at Holme Pierrepont on Saturday in warm but windy conditions. The lake water had reached 21.1°c making the swim leg much more bearable than the 11°C water temperatures the week earlier. Patrick finished 13th in the under 40s category, first in his age category, and 15th overall in a time of 1:04:46 |
 20/5 Dorney Lake Eton
Patrick Cutmore competed in another Triathlon on Sunday in cold windy conditions.
It was the ITU GB Age Group Qualifier for the World Championships which take place in Auckland later this year. Patrick went with the intention of qualifying, however after a poor start in the swim and taking in some of the lake water which took a few minutes to recover from, meant he was some minutes behind his competition. Final time was 1:07:28 placing him 5th in his age group and missing the qualifying places by just one place which was very disappointing. However with the quickest bike split out of his age group in just over 34mins and overall position of 90th out of 1200 it was still a very creditable performance.
Update: Patrick has now been advised that he did in fact qualify to represent GB at the age group world championships in Auckland next year. Congratulations Patrick!

Lara Thornhill finished in 304th place with a time of 1:11:32 however she received a 2 minute penalty for riding in transition, without that she would have jumped up quite a few places.

Why should a Triathlete join a cycling club?
The obvious reason is that it will improve your cycling. The long
steady clubrun on a Sunday morning of anything up to 70 miles,
especially through the winter, provides ideal base level fitness
and will improve bike handling and confidence in riding in close
company with other cyclists. Also riding in a group is more sociable
and makes the time in the
saddle go quicker.
In the summer we have a mixture of time trials, of which the weekly
10 mile event is perfect for the effort required in sprint Triathlons
and also bunch racing to force you to pedal at speeds you would
never normally reach
when out on your own.
Currently we have around 6 members training and competing in Triathlons
from relative beginners to National Army age group team level.
So whatever level you are at, come along and see what
we can offer, at the Cricket Club Gorse Lane Grantham around 7.00
on a Tuesday during the summer months. Better still bring your
bike and try out the 10 mile TT course.
