Great weekend for the VTC at the Bicester Sprint triathlon. The weather was sunny, but windy and with six VTC members rocking up, we looked set for business. The swim was set in a pool with the slowest going off first. With no marshalls counting athletes lengths, it was clear to see that there could be some intersting times. What can only be described as a stupidly long run from the pool to transition, times where set to be slow. These this was over shaddowed by the 400m run from T1 along a path to the bike mount line. The bike course was a two lap affiar, but due to poor sign posting, it was easily to get lost. Finally the run was five laps around a soft and spongey college field. Everyone battle hard against the persistant wind and we picked up THREE age group winners with Claire Lloyd (35-39), Mark Edmonds (20-24) and Mark Yeoman (35-39).
