HAC athletes excel at Helvellyn and Brighton triathlons
Jeremy Henwood and Michael Maxwell produced excellent performances at two very different triathlons on Sunday 6 September, both recording the third fastest run split in their respective races.
Jeremy tackled the formidable Helvellyn Triathlon: a one mile swim, 38 mile bike including Kirkstone Pass and a 15km fell run taking in around 900m of ascent to the 950m summit of Helvellyn.
Despite rain, low cloud and winds gusting to around 50mph on the summit, Jeremy completed the swim in 20:45, bike in 1:53:06 and mountain run in 1:30:23, the third fastest run overall and fastest in his age group.
His 3:51:47 finish placed him 8th overall from 283 and 2nd of 24 in the 35 to 39 category.
In sunny Brighton, Michael produced a superb 38:02 10km run, the third fastest of all 342 finishers and fastest in the 25 to 29 category, to finish in 2:31:57.
Despite losing valuable time earlier in the race, Michael charged through the field to finish 54th overall and 4th of 40 in his age group.
Two contrasting races, two outstanding run splits and another excellent day for HAC triathletes. ๐โโ๏ธ๐ดโโ๏ธ๐โโ๏ธ
