Fritton Lake Triathlon 29th/30th May

This year nearly 450 athletes took part in one of the races at the Fritton Lake Triathlon festival. Support and free beer for the competitors was provided by Adnams Fritton House Hotel, which also served as a back drop to the transition and the finish line.  Despite the steady rain, competitors and their families and friends were also able to enjoy the attractions provided by Fritton Lake Country park. Active Outdoor Sport who organise the event was able to make contributions totalling £2,000 to children’s cancer charity CLIC Sargent as well as several  several local clubs and organisations.

The first race of the weekend was the Super Sprint with 94 athletes tackling the  course of 400m/ 14km/ 2.5km. James Orr of Chiltern Harriers came in first with a time of 41:52 followed by Connor Delaney of the Human Performance Unit in a time of 42:40  Alex McKibben also of the Human Performance Unit was the first woman to finish in a time of 45:02 putting in a strong run to finish just ahead of Alice Sharpe from the Cambridge Tri Club. Simon Edwards the organiser said that it was good to see so many young athletes performing well, with 5 of the top 10 finishers in the youth and junior categories. Sixteen year old Dominic Lee from the Gt Yarmouth Cycle Club provided local interest finishing in 7th place with solid performances in all 3 disciplines.

The Sprint distance race of 750m/ 20km/ 5km was heavily contested with 144 starters. The persistent rain all afternoon didn’t detract from the racing with Oliver Bradbury from Thames Turbo romping home in a time of 1:02:01 followed by Tom Vickery of Cambridge Tri in second place. Liam Gentry of local club Rock Estate Runners and Riders continued his impressive start to the season with a third place finish. Harriet Brettle continued the strong performances from the young Human Performance Unit team by winning the women’s race and finishing 10th overall.

Finally the rain stopped for the start of the Olympic distance race on Sunday morning. With over 200 competitors a strong field set about tackling the challenging course. This year Oliver Milk from the Human Performance Unit triumphed in a time of 2:00:04 ahead of Dave Bettinson from the Cambridge Tri Club. Simon Brierley from Tri-Anglia came in 3rd just ahead of last years winner Roy Young from Born2Tri.  Julie Vickery also from Cambridge Tri Club finished in first place for the women making it a very good race for the Cambridge Triathletes.

The weekends honours must go to the Human Performance Unit with three first places and one second place,  while the Cambridge Tri Club achieved one first place and three second places.
