It was the weekend of the Darley Moor Sprint Duathlon which was also the European Qualifier for 2027 ππ»ββοΈπ΄πΌββοΈππ½
We had Mick Hutchins and Pat Hudson both βtoeing the lineβ. Mick who was in an earlier wave had arguably one of his best Sprint Duathlon performances mixing with some of the best athletes in his AG. It was great to see his efforts rewarded with a best ever time on that course of 56:12 which placed him 27th overall and 3rd in his AG π₯
As many will be aware Pat has been struggling most of the season with ongoing niggles and so was just looking to have a good hit out and get round unscathed and thatβs exactly what he did. Pat crossed the line in a time of 1:00:21 with a smile on his face π After a period of rest and a solid winter there is no doubt Pat will be back to his best πͺπ»
Steve Gannon took on the Anglesey cycling Sportive where he buddied up with a few other very strong cyclists. They worked together to have a very strong ride crossing the line in 4:59 ππ»
