Great week for Three Counties runners

Three Counties running club members have enjoyed a very successful week.

Firstly, club member Andi Woolley tackled an Olympic Triathlon in Bahrain. The event consisted of a 1.5km swim and 40km cycle, finishing with a 10km run.

The race started with an open sea swim, with two-foot high waves making it difficult. Once successfully through the transition, it was the bike course, before an out-and-back run.

Andi had an incredible event, finishing 17th out of 159 participants and second in age with a chip time of 2:25:52 securing his third podium in three races.

Then, at Wisbech parkrun, Rickie Trundle and Alfie Grant claimed first and second place out of 92 runners.

Wisbech parkrun results: Rickie Trundle 20:09CPB 1st place, Alfie Grant 21:07 2nd place, Gary Bligh 22:42, Claire Smithee 25:50 2nd in age, Colin Apps 27:06, Richard Allen 27:39, Melvin Green 29:14, David Hammond 31:55, Joely Apps 32:00, Ewa Szczygielska 32:13, Sarah Lamb 32:33, Lorraine Parker 36:10.
