Sean Frost was part of a team from the Porche Human Performance Center who broke the world record for running the furthest on a treadmill for 48 hours. They broke the previous record of 797 by over 70 kms. Athletes in the team put in amazing performances running over 75 kms in 48 hours at speeds that averaged 18.1km per hour. The fatigue and sleep deprivation finally took their toll. Well done to Andy Blow and the whole team who took part at Goodwood great effort!
The weekend started early on Friday at the King Sturge Triathlon at Doney Lake. Rick De Blaby beat his target time of 1:30 by a couple of minutes despite the 'no wetsuit' rule enforcement, well done Rick!
Sunday Morning saw Steve Barratt storm to a comfortable win at the Bounemouth Sprint which marks his first win after returning back to triathlon after a lengthy lay off. Steve is now at University at Durham and is now racing for Team Durham and his home town sponsor Primera.

In Austria on Sunday morning Will Newbery was preparing for his first Ironman, and a superb performance brought him home strong in 9:41, looks like there is more in the tank should he decide to make a sustained effort at the distance. Well done we are proud of you!
Dr. Paul Cooper was also exercising on Sunday morning and again a Dorney Lake. The tough wind conditions and 'No wetsuit' again could not stop Paul achieving a PB at Standard distance of 2:28. Keep going Paul, both your coach Andy and I think you have got another 3 or 4 minutes in you yet this season :-)
