This was the first duathlon of the season for Paul Harvey, Pete Nicholls and John Caborn after a long autumn and winter of training under sponsorship from Fresh Fitness Skegness.

The duathlon includes the excitement of a mass start, and the thrill of racing around the smooth, fast tarmac of Bedford Autodrome motor racing track.

The duathlon was sprint distance and comprised of a 5k run, swiftly followed by a 20k bike leg and a final run of 2.5k.

The weather conditions were the worst the athletes have ever raced in, with strong winds and rain throughout.

Results: Pete Nicholls 1:12.10, John Caborn: 1:19.01, Paul Harvey: 1:31.55.
