We had lots of WhittleFit athletes and friends of WhittleFit racing this weekend, from west Wales to the US Virgin Islands, lets see how they got on:

  • Carten – the Carten (cycling Cardiff to Tenby) is getting bigger each year and this year saw many, many WhittleFit coached athletes and friends complete the 100 mile cycle. Well done to all you!  
  • Beale Beastie – Stuart Fraser raced the Beale Beastie this weekend and came home in 3rd place overall, well done Stu!
  • Campau Caron Sprint Triathlon – Despite a crash on the bike, Gareth Hodgson managed to win the Campau Caron Sprint Triathlon on Sunday. Well done Gareth, this bodes well for the Slateman in a fortnight!
  • Cotswolds Super Sprint – Andrew Martin and Trevor Batey raced the Cotswolds Super Sprint Triathon yesterday, with Andrew coming 7th overall and 2nd in his age group and Trevor coming 15th overall and 3rd in his age group, great racing guys!
  • Legend Continuous Double Ironman – Mathew Pritchard did the incredible/crazy/stupid continuous double Ironman at Avon Tyrrell this weekend, where he swam 7.6km, then cycled 360km and ran a double marathon! Mathew did amazingly well, battling mechanical failures, sleep deprivation and obvious fatigue to come home in 4th place overall, very well done!
  • Crymych Super Sprint Triathlon – Guto Griffiths completed his first ever triathlon this weekend, the Crymych Super Sprint Triathlon; well done Guto, onwards and upwards towards the Llanelli Triathlon next weekend!
  • Ironman 70.3 St Croix – Geraint Jones raced the Ironman 70.3 in St Croix this weekend on what proved to be a very tough course; well done Geraint for finishing 17th in your age group, that was one hell of a race!
