Club Duathlon - results/report

 A big well done to all of you that turned up to compete in or help out at our Duathlon last Sunday,  a big chunk of the clubs membership where either taking part or helping out which made for a great morning, helped by glorious sunshine – which we don’t normally get!
It was nice to see lots of little personal battles going on right through the field, and as well as a some suffering, some fun as well!
Even relatively short Duathlons are challenging events, and everyone, especially the first timers have come away with a real sense of accomplishment having pushed themselves out of their comfort zones.
Here are the category winners and podiums:
Mens:
1st Paul Prosser
2nd Richard Jones
3rd Tim Tomlins
Ladies:
1st Alison Horsley
2nd Audrey Morris
3rd Jennie Page
1st Team: Matt Copps/Dominique Ballard
1st Team Handicap: Margaret and John Crisp
Handicap
1st Jan Hamill
2nd Paul Delaney
3rd Pete Stalley

Full Results
I used a timing app called Racesplitter, along with manual entries to do the timing, it was a learning experience for me having never been involved in timing an event of any kind let alone a three leg event, and we wouldn’t have any results if not for Steve and Louisa, so hats off to them.

Full results are here http://racesplitter.com/races/397FFE923 note that you’ll have to subtract your run 1 time manually from the split 2 to get your bike time, which will include the transitions.

A spreadsheet with the handicap results is now available here Excel Sheet: 2013
