Well done to Paul hone for getting a bronze in his AG
The weather was cold and raining up at Clumber park as we set off on the 1st 10k run which was enough to soak us for a cold 40k bike ride

I had a dreadful race,my 1st run went really well (34.54),feeling strong and confident of a good race running alongside James Cracknell who is no slouch for a big fella, but then after 20k on the bike lost lots of power in my legs and bonked big time,getting cramps in my thigh and calfs. Only managed a 1.04 on the bike then onto the final 5k run i crawled around in 21. something
Been training hard all winter for this and it all went completely wrong!
Only managed 15th in my AG(40-44),having achieved 3rd at the nat champs last year its a bit d
And to top it off i have woken up today with a cough and cold :D

Hope you're feeling better Carl. Sounds like you were probably coming down with something before the event, causing you to fade later on.

Congratulations to Paul & Neil. Also to TG regular Matt Chapman who finished 3rd in his age group as well.
