Worthing Triathlon
Lucy did the Worthing Tri setting off at 06:15!! Oh my god that was early!! Chris turned up to support Lucy as his race didn’t start until 10:50. He had a 400 mtr swim completed in 8 mins 12 sec. then followed by a 35k cycle in a time of 74 mins and finally a run of 5k in 37:57 mins and finished in 74th out of 150. Really pleased with his efforts.
For the Worthing Tri the morning started at some stupid South Downs Relay time of 03:30 to get breakfast and be at Worthing for Lucy to set off at 06:15 for the sea swim of 1500 mtrs. For some reason the wind got up and produced some difficult waves as the tide was against the wind.
First off of the three wave start were the ladies followed by the men and finally the elite athletes. After about 20mins they had all mixed in together but the faster women came out just ahead of the fast men, Lucy coming out 30th.
Other competitors were
Richard Thomas 2:08:04 20th
Mike White 2:10:59 33rd
Euan McGrath 2:31:28 147th
Dave Abrams 2:41:28 206th
Lucy May 3:04:06 269th
Sandra Abrams 3:26:54 287th
All of the Stubbies enjoyed the day, sorry morning, Euan has been bitten by the Tri bug, Lucy was admiring the scenery as she cycled along, Dave looked as fresh as a daisy at the end, Richard and Mike looked really quick at the start of the run not showing any signs of a cycle ride and Sandra proudly showed off her Stubby vest.
