Test Tri 6 Results

A fitting end to the series, lots of competition, plenty of jostling for positions in the overall ranking, and slew of PBs.

Stephen O'Toole took part for the first time this year, and did so with a new PB and the day's fastest time. For much of the race he was hounded by our rising star, Dave Osborne, who took an incredible 2 minutes and 4 seconds off his PB time. Further down the mens field Dave Murphy and Wesley Reilly set new fast times, as did both our Juniors, with Johnathan setting a very fast new time in the pool.

In the ladies Stephanie ended her first season in second place, consolidating her third rank overall. Trish Nicholls worked hard and nabbed the first place in the overall rankings from Sinead Wearen - battle resumes for the title in April!

While in the mens series the top two positions were set in stone, the battle for third had four contenders - Liam was collecting bonus points by helping, while Simon, Niall, Dave and Karl battled it out in the final wave.

In the end, Niall held onto third, with Karl and simon close behind. Dave and Liam take 6th and 7th respectively, but I suspect that won't be the case in 12 months time.

Johnathan Robinson proved that perssistence and helping out pays, his final PB crowning his achievement as Junior #1; meanwhile Siobhan took the ladies title and will no doubt be a serious contender to Trish, Avril and Sinead in 2011 as a senior.

Well done everyone, and a big thanks to Willie and his team today. If anyone would like to pen a report for the final day, please let me know.
