Dorney Lake, Eton Women’s Triathlon - May 2006
Swim 800m; Bike 30k; Run 7.5k
The woman’s only Triathlon was held at Dorney Lake, often used for International Rowing events.
Helen opted for the longer distance [typical of Helen] which consisted of an open water swim of 800m, followed by a six lap bike ride of 30k and finally a three lap run of 7.5k.The bike and run taking place in a traffic free environment within the grounds of Dorney Lake.
Helen successfully completed the three disciplines in a good time of 2Hrs. 49Mins 59Secs. and as the oldest competitor beating a few ladies younger than herself.
Following some training with Les at Tooting Bec Lido she was able to get out of her wet suit without too much difficulty!
Well done Helen!
