Mallory park sprint Tri 02 May 2011

3 members of Nicetri club Attended the windy venue of Mallory park motorcycle track in Leicester for their first race of the season.

Distance 750 / 20k / 5k , Great venue apart from I have never swam in a brook, the water was that shallow you could almost pull yourself along, but i suppose thats part of the fun. The cycle would have been fast and smooth being on a race track , but the gale force winds put pay to that.

Chelle Ritchie in her first ever open water sprint Tri did exceptionally well achieving 85 position and 3rd place in her age group (1.34.76). Excellent work considering the conditions. javascript:emoticonp('')

Tom Stead the youngest member of Nicetri at 15 competed in the Tri stars event over 400/10k/3k finishing in a respectable 12 place. watch out you seniors he will be beating you at sprints before long !! javascript:emoticonp('')

And then there was me ! (Keith Ritchie) Hoping for a good ride with my new bike , but to no avail the wind wasn't having any of it.javascript:emoticonp('') I got round in 1.15.09 to finish 26 place overall and 4th old git home. Quite happy for the first race of the season. (see links for results)
