Last Wednesday Melanie Koth of LSARRC, 7th August, completed the capenwray sprint tri, which is a 500m open water swim, 20k bike ride and finish with a 5k run.
It's a tough little evening summer series, the swim was brutal, Koth said she felt like she was in a washing machine, receiving several kicks and being dunked. The bike route was a very rolling course with a couple of tough hills, which was a leg burner.
The run was a straight out and back run along the canal but not great for overtaking people as very narrow path and a lot of runners coming towards you, also with the rain, Koth said it got quite slippy.
Koth finished 85th overall,11th lady, 2nd v45 in a time of 1:18:34.
Our new member Catherine MacLachlan took part in the Aquathlon (500m swim and 5k run)
She finished 10th overall,4th lady and 1st v50 in a time of 54:44.
Sunday saw the city of Preston 5mile and 10mile race in Walmer Bridge. The 5mile, 1 lap race was an English championship race. Lytham had 2 runners taking part.
Mike Toft: 17th overall in a time of 26:57
Louise Cox: 49th overall, 13th lady, 1st v45 in a time of 35:36
The 10 miler was 2 laps of the course and started 10min later with 2 lytham ladies running.
Mel koth: 25th ov, 4th lady and 1st v45 in a diamond standard time 1:10:29
Michelle Chadwick : 26th ov, 5th lady in a time of 1:10:31
Koth was full of a cold and throat infection but managed to have a good run to achieve her last missing diamond standard time. It was great to have Michelle back from injury with another fab run.
