Following the success of Ollie Starr at last year’s Blenheim Triathlon, when he won first place in the Men’s Super Sprint in the 17 – 24 age group, he entered in the Swindon Duathlon last weekend on Sunday 1^st April in the Elite group of competitors.  The course was a 10k run, a 40k bike ride followed by a 5k run.  The race was contested in very strong north westerly winds on the Wroughton Science Museum site. Ollie finished as the 11^th Male Elite competitor and provisional results shows that he was the fourth under 23 years old and the second Junior athlete in the race.  His race time of 2 hours 15 minutes is under 10 minutes behind the Under 23 Olympic qualifiers record.

There is certainly a busy couple of weeks ahead for Ollie, who will be competing in the Mounts Bay Harriers Triathlon on 8^th April and in the National Youth and Junior Duathlon championships to be held in Warwickshire on Friday 13^th April 2007.  Good luck from all at CAC.
