Little to say at the moment as I'm totally knackered from two intense days of crewing (Eton) and reffing at London but Simon Lessing won the mens from Richard Allen and Richard Stannard. Stannard led out the swim with Moffat, Hates and Lessing in pursuit. Despite crashing on the bike which led to him losing the group on the bike he then re-formed with Richard Allen. Simon pushed out on the run quickly passing Moffat who ended up 4th. Tim Don looked uninspired having lost both the front groups on the bike and Stuart Hayes pulled out.

In the women's race Jodie Swallow won by a mile, well, 80 seconds but it looked like a mile, from Michelle Dillon and Henrietta Freeman having led from the swim by over a minute and maintained this lead throughout the bike and run. Neither winner scored the Citroën car for beating the Olympic times - an unlikely possibility in the conditions. Andrea Whitcombe cycled most of the course with a flat proving, as was the case at Salford, that the women are far better at toughing it out than the men!

Good new venue but some criticisms of the bike course in the unexpected rain. James Amey who crashed badly in the elite race, and Patrick Barnes, knocked down from behind on the bike, are both apparently OK after hospitalisation. Results are now up on the London website.
