Team Trisports saw its elite athlete Stephen Harrison put in a truly stunning performance at the Nokia Windsor Triathlon on Sunday.
The event, which is considered one of the ‘big three’ on the British race calendar along with the London and Blenheim triathlons, celebrated it’s 20th anniversary this year and also proved a cause for celebration for Harrison as he finished a superb 4th place overall in the elite race, just 10 seconds behind the 3rd place finisher.
Taking place over a 1500m swim, 42km draft-legal bike leg and 10km run, Harrison’s outstanding time of 1:52:27 also included a fleet-footed 10k run split of 33:24.
Also on Sunday, Steffan Ford (see photo.

His great result was not only an improvement on his 5th place finish in last year’s race, but also lowered his PB time for the event by over two minutes to 1:06:12.
On the same day, but much nearer to home, there was more sprint distance action. This time from veteran athletes Graham Perry and Kevin Bradley. The pair competed at the Puretri Bedford Traktors Sprint Triathlon which consisted of a 400m pool swim, 24km bike leg and 5km two lap run and set times of 1:23:11 and 1:25:24 respectively.
Again on the sprint triathlon theme, Tony Shortland raced the Henley Sprint triathlon on Sunday and covered the 400m pool swim, 25km bike and 5k run in a time of 1:26:16 to finish 8th in his age-group.
Changing sports, Adam Laycock took to the startline of the Finsbury Park CC 50 cycling time trial on Sunday and set a new PB time of 2:02:14 to average an impressive 24.5mph for the event.
Also sticking to two wheels, Naomi Woodland raced the Unity Cycling Club 25 mile TT and set a time of 1:15:16 to finish 2nd lady and 3rd overall after handicap.
