Plenty of results in May as the season really starts in earnest. Several members were travelling the country, either pursuing qualification for the forthcoming World or European Age Competitions or indeed after UK honours. For some it was just about improving on what had gone before or experiencing something different from the their multisport adventures, with the prize for most exotic probably going to Lesley Kernaghan for the Escape from Alcatraz triathlon (pic) after the disappointment of a cancelled swim last year.  All the results I am aware of are listed below, through May and into the first weekend of June. Have a read and check out your club mates’ efforts. Enjoy.

Ocean Lava 113 – 20th May – 1.9/90/21
“30 mins faster than my time last year at this event,  and  2^nd in AG (out of 5 entrants) , by just 3mins . This is a low key friendly event with a wide spread of abilities from local tri champions to first timers. A warmish sea swim and fast bike + run laps on closed coastal roads with fantastic sea views all along. If anyone is interested in a  Spring ½ IM in warm weather in May 2019  (as prep for club trip to  IM Austria in July maybe) I am happy to coordinate a trip”
