Triathlons – 

Vince Hounsome won his age group category at the recent Hyde Park triathlon, (61st overall) in spite of losing time when a marshal sent him the wrong way during transition costing him a minute or so.

Vince was second in category and sixth overall at the Stourhead triathlon, easing up in the closing stages not realising how close his nearest rival was and he just missed out on the win.  Simon Barfoot was 41st of the 108 finishers.

In the final Southern XC race of the season, Dan Riggs was 17th in the Open category at Queen Elizabeth Park near Petersfield.  Dan finished in 10th place in the series overall.
