Mansfield Sprint Triathlon, Warsop

Dave and Pete entered this local Triathlon. Both completed it in style. The event consisted of a 400metre swim, 10mile bike and a 3 mile run. The bonus was it was situated in their own backyard. The only thing the separate the two was the swim where Dave showed what those life guarding days had built him up for.

Dave finished in 55th place with a total time of 53 minutes and 57 seconds. The splits were as follows; swim - 7mins 10secs, cycle - 26mins 32secs, run - 20mins 14secs

Pete was obviously in the old man category and finished in 71st place with a total time of 55 minutes and 14 seconds. The splits were as follows; swim - 8mins 37secs, cycle - 26mins 18secs, run - 20mins 18secs

London Triathlon 2005

The boys have been and conquered. On the 7th of August both Pete and Dave completed the London Triathlon. Pete managed to avoid drowning in the Thames (Just!!!). With only a couple of hiccups in the swim both had excellent results.

Dave finished with the following times;
