Ray Williams,Rob Woodward, and Andy Kilby, took on the challenge of the Lanzarote Ironman, for most of us standing for 15 hours is tiring enough! to complete a 2.4 mile swim, a 112 mile cycle ride and finish with a 26 mile marathon is a breathtaking acheivement. It alll started at 7 in the morning when our trio leapt into the Atlantic, whist the training at Dursley Pool put them in good stead, just keeping their heads above water in the melee of the start was a bonus. Rob came out of the water first in 1 hour 11 minutes closely followed by Ray and Andy. Ray managed to build a 30 minute lead on Rob over the bike section, battling against a fierce wind and a lack of coca cola at one refueling station, Andy was a further 30 minutes behind. The marathon was a gruelling finish, the cool evening air makiing it slightly more bearable. Ray finished in a fantastic 13 and a half hours, with Andy digging deep to catch Rob, both crossing the line in 15 Hours. After a well earned rest next stop for the intrepid three is Cotswold Water park for a duathaon, a walk in the park in comparaison! |

The 2008 Cotswold Way Relay took place on Saturday 28th June. Now in it’s 17th year this race starts at Chipping Campden at 7 a.m and finishes at Bath Abbey in the early evening. The route is split into 10 stages varying in length and ascent, using the waymarked route of the Cotswold Way – over 90% off-road. The route is not marshalled so it is important to recce the route beforehand to prevent getting lost. 65 teams of ten entered this year. Dursley AC had two teams entered – a veteran team and a mixed team. The veteran team performed well finishing in 4th place and the mixed team also did well finishing 11th place, with Garry Hughes starring, winning stage 5 in a new stage record time to add to his records for stages 6 and 8.
