Immortal Triathlon (1900m / 56 miles / 14 miles)
Three TK athletes competed at The Immortal, based at a beautiful National Trust Property at Stourhead in Wiltshire. It was a beautiful day too, but a tough course. The swim was 2 laps of a picturesque lake in the grounds of Stourhead House. Phil was first of the TK athletes out of the water, followed by Emiliano and then Katie. Next was a 500m uphill run to Transition. This was to be first of many hills. The bike course was three laps of undulating country roads. The road was rarely flat, with lots of long grinding uphills followed by satisfying downhills. And the run – a rounded-up 14 miles rather than the usual 13.1 miles – was also three laps with along hill taking up about 1/3 of each lap. Overall, a challenging course, as evidenced by the winning overall time (04:52:24) which is a good deal longer than most middle distance races.
TK results are below. Notably, Katie was 4th in her age group. Also, both Phil & Katie were 3rd in the swim for their age groups.
