2009 Race Report
The weather conditions nearly turned the race into a swim -
swim - swim event, but despite the monsoon like conditions
nearly 350 hardy triathletes completed the swim - bike - run
that makes up the Taunton Deane Foot Anstey triathlon.
This was the first year that timing chips had been used to
calculate athletes times and the screen at the end of the race
was very popular allowing competitors to look up their overall
and split times as soon as they had crossed the finish line.
The novices were first off, with a 200m swim then the
challenging bike to Milverton and back and an undulating run
through the lanes around the Sports Centre. First time
triathlete Tom Guppy, was not only first junior, but was also
the fastest novice racer on the day. For the ladies, Nicola
Emery was first home, despite a fast bike section from second
place Martha Beacham. We look forward to seeing how well all the
prizewinners do in the sprint event next year!
The sprint distance athletes had 400m to swim, then the 14 mile
round trip to Wiveliscombe bike section, finishing with a 2 lap
3mile run. In the ladies race, junior Holly Lawrence knocked
nearly 3 minutes off her last years time and stepped up 1 place
to take the ladies title. First places in the men's race went to
Ed Hawkins, who knocked over 3 minutes off his time from last
year and improved by 7 paces.
Full list of prizewinners for both events below.
Well done to everyone who braved the tough conditions to
compete, whatever time you finished in, you can be proud to have
completed the course.
Many thanks to all the marsalls, who stood out in the pouring
rain, and despite being cold and wet, cheered and encouraged the
athletes around the course. Without them giving up their time
this event would not happen.
Also thanks to our main sponsors, Foot Anstey Solicitors, who
not only support the event, but also have at least 20 of their
staff taking part. Their assistance has enabled us to provide
timing chips and to make the whole event that much more
professional.
