IMPRESSIVE triathlete Darren Treadway has been making his mark on the sport this month.In the Portuguese National Championships in Lisbon at the weekend, Treadway came 16th in the long course event (1.9k swim, 90k bike and a 21k run) with a world class time of 4.03.54. It was an impressive field including several Ironmen winners and the current European Champion.
The senior section of Tri Force took part in the club organised Where? Triathlon - the name a reminder of its inception as a last minute replacement for cancellation of the Ware triathlon many years ago.
Rising star Treadway took the win, completing the 400m swim, 21km bike ride and 6km run in a time of 1.01.21, 50 seconds ahead of second placed FVS star Mark Racher. The club honours for first and second woman across the line were reversed with FVS' Kerrie Renshaw finishing in 1.10.50, a full three and a half minutes ahead of Tri Forces' Tamsyn Allen. Tri Force newcomer Emma Tempstra made an impressive debut for the club, clinching third place in a time of 1 hour 17 minutes.
Tri Force Juniors had an early season triathlon to warm them up for the coming season at Sandridge School. There were 22 youngsters aged between eight and 16 in the swim, cycle, run competition.
