Tri-ing very hard!

The times have been published! Pedro45, and his team-mates Dominic and Natalie completed their Third London Triathlon last weekend, in our best time yet.

We went round in 1 hour 31 minutes 20 seconds, beating our previous best time by about seven minutes. This put us in 96th place overall, amongst the 177 starting teams, which means we beat 81 others! Last year we only beat 40 teams, so this is a very good achievement and a great improvement.

Of the 177, Dom came 43rd in his 750m swim (13.53), Pedro45 came 94th (45.48) over 20km on the bike, and Nats came 128th (27.41) for her 5km run. Our transition times were very good for the first one (2.32 - 17th overall), and not quite so good for the second (1.27 - 112th), probably due to my cramp and our position on the rack!!!

If anybody wishes to donate, you can go here to add to our magnificent sponsorship total. So far, we have raised over £1400 for CHAS - the Children's Hospice Association Scotland; it would be great to take this years total over £1500, so if you haven't yet donated and you would like to, please click here right now and give what you can!
