In his first race since last year’s July European Championships, Mick was looking to complete, still nursing achilles damage, he tells us about his experience today:

‘Thames Turbo at Kempton Park was a great venue, particularly for spectators, as the run and ride were both in repeated loops – 4.5km run (2 x 2.25km loops), 9 x same loop on bike, 4.5km run (2 x 2.25km loops). My focus was on completion rather than pushing too hard.

An 18  minute first run was followed by a 36 minute ride and a 19 (ish) minute run to finish 10th and 3rd in AG.’

With 7 weeks to go to Lisbon European Triathlon Championship, despite his own protestations about a small field this time round, the rest of us would say well done on a great start to the season Mick.
