Team WhittleFit racing roundup - 19th & 20th August 2017

This weekend we had a few WhittleFit coached athletes and friends of WhittleFit racing, lets see how they got on:

• Gower BRECA swim/run: we had several coached athletes and friends of WhittleFit racing the ‘new’ swimrun format of racing at the Gower on Saturday. Very tough sea conditions meant 30 teams DNF’d the event. James and Tony successfully completed the race with James saying “I thought we were going to die at one point!”, unfortunately Jason and Reggie DNF’d due to severe cramping from Jason, while coach Lawrence and wife Laura came 2^nd in the mixed pairs race and 3^rd overall. Well done everyone, that was one real tough event!!!  
• Ironman 70.3 Dublin: Mark Binding raced Ironman 70.3 Dublin with the sole intention of trying to qualify early for next year’s Ironman 70.3 World Champs in South Africa, and I’m pleased to say that Mark was successful in this weekend’s mission! Well done Mark, very pleased for you!
