Tri Hard 2 starring Ron and Stephen
The first Marketing Industry Triathlon has just been held at Dorney Lake in Eton - the prestigious rowing venue for the 2012 Olympics.
The triathlon was open to anyone in, or connected to, sales, marketing and the communication industries. So enter Sterling's Ron Rutgers and Stephen Dransfield!
The triathlon consisted of a 1500m swim, 40km bike ride and a 10km run. Here's Stephen's report:
Steve Dransfield completes in 2:28:01 hours
"The race started with a very choppy swim and lasted 2 laps, after 31 minutes and swallowing several gallons of lake water it was time to move onto the bike! This was an 8 lap course and involved a very strong head wind on the way out, but a very fast tail wind on the way back to the start. On completing the final lap of the bike I peeled off to the transition area to rack my bike and start the run. The run was 4 laps and took just over 40 minutes to complete, giving me a finishing time of 2:28:01 hours".
Ron was first in his age group and Steve second in his.
Well done to both!
The whole event was a fundraiser for the chosen charities, CLIC Sargent and the Alzheimer's Society.
