Exeter Wheelers 25 S4/25 08/08/10
Seemed like a good idea to enter the event a month ago. However a 0400hrs alarm call on race day had me questioning my sanity although this was still a lie in compared to some triathlon starts! Fantastic time to be on the road and was rewarded with a glorious sunrise and the way up to Devon. Onto the event itself I finished in 5th place in a time of 55:19 missed fourth place by one second and just over a minute behind the winner Simon Edney in a time of 54:02. Despite the early start it was good to race outside of the county against different riders on what proved to be a tough course.

Cornish Cup event so a strong field for this event with Wendy Houvenaghel topping the bill. A dull and overcast day with a stiff headwind on the outward leg and sections of rain. I finished third in a time of 55:16, 4 seconds adrift of the second placed rider Julius Jennings, however Wendy stormed to first place in a time of 54:37. Really pleased with the time and hpefully can improve on this with the remaining events of the season. Photo attached.
Rest of August is pretty quite with a few 10's towards the end of the month and two 25m events to do in September.
