Sri Chinmoy Tri Club's SBR-Mini DUATHLON (run-bike-run) 2015

A beautiful sunny morning at Tockington saw both course records smashed - Matt Fratesi knocked 40 seconds off the previous mark with a winning time of 37.15 while Naomi Eaton (Stroud), 4th overall, set a new women's record of 42.51.

In all there were 40 finishers with times ranging from 37.15 to 1.05.50 and an age range of 17 to 70.

Thanks to all who took part in this final race of the series, and a big thank you also to visiting marshals from the Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team (from London, Cardiff and Canada).

Keep an eye on http://uk.srichinmoyraces.org/ for details of next year's races (first Duathlon will be in March 2016) and as ever we'll have race photos uploaded within a few days to http://ukgallery.srichinmoyraces.org/Bristol.

Warm, still, dry weather and a freshly mown playing field made conditions ideal for the race today. 42 duathletes took part and Mark Kemp, Luke Hanson and David Wayland all dipped under the previous course record. Mark's winning time was 37.55 and first female duathlete over the line was Alix McKillop in 49.47.

Lots of first timers took part and seem to have enjoyed their foray into duathlon as a few have already signed up for the September race - see you there!

33 duathletes completed our 2k-15k-2k course at Tockington Manor School - dry conditions prevailed again but it was decidedly chilly! Despite that, John O'Dwyer came close to the course record with a winning time of 40.57 while Maria Badel took the honours in the women's race with 51:51. 

Thanks to everyone who took part - a strong and varied field as ever with seasoned triathletes rubbing shoulders with multisport first-timers. 

A race gallery will be uploaded later this week.
