Both athletes fustrated by missing Gold but the silver will motivated them over the coming weeks as we head into Tri season.

David Richardson Mairtin and Mark all had impressive races and gave there all for the team.whats this space as Mark had not one but 2 pbs on the running side of the race and was still complaining 🙂

 

 

 

 

STL VERDICT

” impressive and positive is all I can say. its very hard to come to nationals with it being the only standard distance duathlon so early in the season. The squad gave their all and I’m proud of the way we approached this as a team rather than a group of individuals and that means a lot to me, the course was good the bike was harder than it looked on-line and the standard was amazing. In the women’s field you had all the top contenders from the nationals series last year minus Andree and the mens field was jam packed with talented athletes. A very honest course and it sets the guys and gal up for a good season. I can only be happy. no if’s buts or maybe’s we got what we deserved.”
