Grand Prix series race 2 - Oulton Park
Duathlon and also the British championships - Report by Grand Prix Rep …
2 representatives from RTC took on the Oulton park sprint duathlon. Bryan Lawton fresh from his open water exploits on Wednesday finished off his triathlon with a run bike run session. Finishing in 1.18.56 securing 122nd place overall and an impressive 13th place in the 55-59 age group. But probably more impressive was his negative split runs being quicker on the 2nd run than the first.
Lawrence Boswell also had a good run out finishing 153rd overall but a more impressive 9th place in the 60-64 categories.
For some there may be GB age groups letters dropping through the door?
2 other impressive results from local athletes. George booth finished an impressive 27th overall in the standard race & Saddleworth runner Martha Tibbot secured 3rd place overall and 1st in her age group, that on the back of winning the 2up mixed age category last weekend.
And finally, not to be outdone, Alfie was the sole junior representative. Thanks to Oulton park for putting this on after cancellation of the cadence triathlon event for the juniors. Decent season opener for Alf always going to be difficult after a week of covid but 2nd fastest run, 5th off the bike but then “Alex yee like” ran himself back to 2nd.
Next up is the West Lancs triathlon at Edge Hill 24th April this is a fast flat event but a great location or if you fancy a non competitive race. The final castle series virtual races start on Friday.
