Bala Olympic

Sun, 16th Sept 2007

The race contained a large field of about 750 competitors and was won by Harry Wiltshire with wheel busting Stephen Harrison of Italy training camp fame in 2nd. The swim was shortened to 1k due to the choppiness of the water in Bala Lake. However due to the water conditions the swim times were not that far out anyway.

Run and Bike splits are not currently available.

Adam Teal was looking for worlds qualification and produced a competitive performance to come 6th in the G category. This may well qualify? Dave Chapman looks like he struggled in the swell (maybe needs to come on the Italy training camp where the sea provides a good swell for practicing in), but recovered with a stronger bike leg and a zippy run leg to finish in 127th. Veteran Phil Bilton raced solidly with a good run leg taking him to 186th position, while Marcus Whelband currently on holiday in Wales, was 292nd, having competed in quite a number of event recently, including 2nd in the 6 day Tour of MK running race.
