"Just

ever done. Format was 5k 20k 5k all set in stunning Coed y Brenin
forest with mountain views 1800 feet of climbs and blistering

morning. Run
1 20:51; Bike 1:13:36; Run 2 24:00 10.10.09 World Ironman Triathlon Champs, Kona, Hawaii - Results A
massive congratulations to Julie Harrison who came over the line
at about 7am this morning at the World Ironman Triathlon champs in
Hawaii. Jules secured her place at the World Champs by winning her
age group at IMUK and this was her second time at the World
Champs, with her first last year. 04.10.09 Oulton Park Duathlon, National Ranking Series Event - Results Well
done to all that raced at Oulton Park on Sunday. This was a new
event for this year as it was increased to an Olympic distance. It
was also part of the national ranking series and this made the top
end of the field very high quality. However, this didn't hold back
our ABC entries with some excellent age group results in some of
the hardest age groups:- Matt Shillabeer competed in the championships in the 35-39 age group after qualifying at Clumber Park. Matt claimed 13th of 42 in his age group. The lead up to the race was very warm and up to 90 degrees on the Thursday before, but come Saturday the heavens opened and it tonked it down for the duration, making the bike course very tricky with a few 90 degree bends. Anyway Matt managed to stay up!. Matt came in 18th off the first run, got back up to 11th soon after T2 and then slipped 2 places on the last run to finish 13th. Matt's overall yime was 02:05:02 - full results can be found at http://www.zumtri.com/2009_duathlon_world_championships , race number 522. 20.09.09 North West Classic Sprint Tri, Nantwich - Results Derek
was back racing in September, with his training plan quite publicly
identified as heavily based on the use of chocolate cake, he took
3rd in his age group (60-65) and 185th out of 529 finishers.
His splits and overall time were as follows:- 13.09.09 Bala Triathlon, Bala, N Wales - Results All ABC were greeted by fog as we arrived at registration. As the sun came up, the fog started to clear, but as soon as it left it dropped again delaying the start by about 20 minutes. However, once the race got going, they were probably some of the best conditions of the year. Great performances all round and some Olympic PBs on what was a reasonably accurate course. Unfortunately Sam dropped out on the run with a recurring knee injury - Sam took the 9th fastest swim time of the day, fantastic job.
13.09.09 Ulverston Triathlon, Barrow, Cumbria (www.epicevents.org) - Results Rich Bardon continued straight through from Helvellyn with the debut Ulverston Tri. Karl also donned the black and white to do an event a little shorter than his usual Ironman, mind you the drive from St Helens to Barrow, probably got it closer to IM dedication. ABC newbie Chris Green took part in his first triathlon and commented how much he enjoyed beating Karl (who he has trained with) by 6 minutes!!
06.09.09 Helvellyn Triathlon, Glenridding, Cumbria - Results Well done to all the crazy ABCers that completed the Helvellyn Triathlon on Sunday. Sounds like the weather just held out. This is usually Marc's baby, but after a bike accident last week he was unable to compete. The full event was over 500 so great efforts all round. Not sure what happened to Ian S, but I am sure we will find out. I would all take a well deserved rest now. Full results can be found at http://www.trihard.co.uk/
22.08.09 National Team Relays, Holme Pierrepont - Results What a fantastic day out in Nottingham - 4 teams from the club including a V50 team making it the biggest ABC entry in the three years of entering the event.

In the afternoon we had the Ashurst Saxons: Matt Shillabeer, Paul Mason, Ian Roberts, Marc Laithwaite; the Ashurst Barbarians: Chewy, Nick Bennett, Rich Kettle, Ian Slater; and the Ashurst Antiquities: Chris Unsworth, Derek Ireland, Peter Mousley, Paul Kay.
