A big weekend for NLEC Athlete Jenny Harley as she raced twice at the Triathlon World Championships in Pontevedra, Spain.
In the Standard distance on Saturday Jenny came 11th in the world in her A/G in a time of 2:57:30!!! On Sunday in the sprint relay her GB team came 12th in a time of 2:01:34! Another fantastic result.
The road to the start line has not been easy with some injury problems but Jenny never gave up and was determined to get to the race.

A special mention goes to my Team Legra TTT team mates who also competed:
Jo Phelps came 32nd
Peter Harley came 27th
Janice Brown came 6th

Amazing results from all against the best in the World!!

On Sunday NLEC Athlete Stacey Wimbledon-Emig took on the Michigan 70.3, Last year Stacey also did this race but unfortunately crashed out so this year it was redemption time and redeem herself she certainly did! Despite an incredibly cold 16 degree swim and some understandable caution on the bike Stacey smashed her 70.3 PB coming home in 5:30:38 which put her 16th out of 62 in her AG, 70th Female out of 595 and 442nd out of 1,905 overall.
A fantastic effort and it bodes well for Ironman Florida in November which is Stacey's next race!

Last Sunday it was the iconic Ironman Wales race which is rated as the 2nd hardest in the world only after Lanzarote. It is a tough course with a leg sapping bike course and tough hilly run.

Sometimes races don't quite go to plan and if you race enough you will know that! And so it transpired for NLEC Athlete Jordan Holdsworth. The day started grey and the rain came even though it was not forecast. The swim went ok in choppy waters and then onto the bike with a good first 70km but then disaster struck on one of courses notorious descents and Jordan crashed quite heavily. The bike was bent up a bit and so was Jordan who landed knee, shoulder then head. Picking himself up and assessing his condition he tried to get the bike rideable which after a while he did and made the decision to keep going. It was obviously tough especially as his injuries started to take hold. He managed to finish the bike and was determined to reach his goal of completing his first Ironman. As he set off on the run it was clear that his body wasn't going to play ball so he reverted to plan B of the walk/run strategy. I'm pleased and proud to say he crossed the finish line in 15:50:05. Not the finishing time we were expecting and certainly not the race we expected but the goal was met; Complete an Ironman!! Fantastic grit and determination! Well done Jordan!

Last weekend NLEC Athlete Koen De Cort took on the Ultra marathon that is the Jungfrau Marathon in Switzerland. A unique & brutal event that starts in Interlaken with 26km of "relatively flat" terrain and then you hit the mountain climb! 16km straight up with 1,700m of climbing to the top of the Eigergletscher. Koen had a time of 6:07:48 which placed him 2,062th out of over 3,000 starters! An awesome effort and achievement!

A busy few weeks for NLEC Gravel riders! John Wright competed in the UCI Gravel European championships in Belgium 2 weeks ago and finished a creditable 73rd out of 100 starters in his age group with a time of 4:12:39.
He then took to the start line of the UCI Gravel qualifier for the 2026 Gravel World Championship last week at Graean Cymru in Wales and finished 8th out of 53 starters in his A/G which meant he qualified! An amazing effort with such a short time between tough races!

A welcome return to racing after quite a while for NLEC Athlete Jenny Harley at the Dartford Bridge Sprint Tri alongside a good size contingent from East Essex Tri Club! Jenny posted 1:26:46 to be 9th Female of 29 and 1st in her A/G.
Jenny has been working hard & been very patient coming back from injury and this is the reward!
More to come this season from Jenny for sure!

Sometimes you don't need an "Official" event to achieve something amazing and on Sunday the 21st of June NLEC Athlete Andy Cunningham and 9 of his friends set off on an epic journey cycling from Geneva to Nice across the Alps!! After 6 days & 682km with 16,283m of climbing, not to mention a heatwave, they arrived in Nice. Some incredible memories made and Iconic Cols climbed including The Ramaz, Saises, Cormet de Roseland, Col du Pre, Izoard, Iseran & La Bonnette to name just some!
An awesome achievement! Well done to Andy and his cycling buddies!

Last week we saw a heatwave across the UK and Europe with some major events being cancelled but some still went ahead and NLEC Athlete Kolja Leiser took on the mighty Marmotte! one of the hardest and most iconic Gran Fondo's in Europe. The weather was of course a factor (his garmin registered a high of 45 degrees on Alpe D'Huez!) but with some sensible pacing and a good fuel & hydration plan Kolja completed the 177km course that has a huge 5,400m of climbing in an impressive 9:44:59!!! A great achievement!
This is an event that every passionate cyclist wants to have on their CV.

Our favourite Anglo/American Athlete Stacey Wimbledon-Emig has been back visiting from over the pond in Michigan for the past 3 weeks and has made good use of her time back here by doing some races! First up was the Dartford White Oak Sprint Tri on the 7th of June with a good turn out of her EETC team mates where she got round the course in an impressive 1:23:57 which was 27th overall and 3rd Female!! Then this past weekend Stacey went again but this time in the Southend Olympic Distance Tri and had a great race finishing in 2:30:42!! Which meant she was 19th overall and 1st Female and of course 1st A/G. Very impressive especially as Stacey is training for the longer distances of 70.3 Michigan & Ironman Florida later this year! Amazing stuff!

Gravel riding has become increasingly popular in the last few years and has firmly established itself in the world of competitive cycling. One of the biggest events in the UK is the Gralloch which is held on a very challenging 110km route near Dumfries in Scotland, it includes some serious climbing (1,761m) and is used as a UCI qualifyer for the world gravel championships. NLEC had 3 Athletes racing in different age groups:

Keith Williams in a time of 5:03:59 to finish 164th out of 220 in his A/G. Keith has worked hard over the winter going out in all weathers to get fit enough to complete this tough course! A great job!

Steve Carter in a time of 4:27:42 to come 87th out of 220 in his A/G
You may have seen that Steve did the Mighty Fred Whitton last weekend so this was an amazing effort as he will still have had a lot of fatigue in his legs!

Jamie McCulloch in a time of 4:47:40 to come 124th out of 168 in his A/G. Jamie is new to Gravel riding and this was his first ever gravel race so he did extremely well! It certainly was a babtism of fire!

Fabulous efforts from all 3 and I'm sure they will be doing more on the gravel through the year!
