Race 1 of the Thames Turbo Sprint Series saw a hardy bunch of triathletes take on the challenging wet and windy conditions on a blustery Easter Bank Holiday Monday. The fastest man of the day was Rory Atkins of Optima Racing Team who completed the course in 56:14. Vicky Gill of Swim for Tri took the top women’s slot in 1:04:36.
Despite the rain, there were some impressive performances from a strong field of athletes that included Jonathan Hotchkiss of VO2 Performance Bikes/PowerBar and Parys Edwards of Ful-On Tri. There was also a large number of novices taking part in their first race and we hope this event will be their first of many.
Thanks must be given to the dedicated few who stayed for the prize presentation for the overall and category winners who received goodies from the Thames Turbo Sprint Series sponsors: PowerBar; Sigma Sport; Swim for Tri; 2XU, Newton and Lanson Running.
