The London event is the world’s largest duathlon held annually in Richmond Park, south-west London, with thousands of participants. Ion started the Relay with a challenging 10km run, Ciprian then took over with two fast laps around Richmond Park (22km in the rain) and Siobhan crossed the finishing line with a fast 5km run and a blistering sprint to the line. The result was a well deserved 7th place (out of more than 80 teams competing), with an overall time of 1 hour and 52 min. Click here for more pictures. |

Siobhan and Ion take on the Surrey hills in the Wiggle Super Series Ups and Downs Sportive (Road) – 68miles around Dorking. It was a great day for cycling, with sunshine throughout, great atmosphere and good support from the organisers. Which was exactly what was needed to complete a challenging course with plenty of hard climbs and fast downhills.
