The GB Junior squad gained some valuable experience racing in Graz on Saturday where they took part in the first Junior Enduro-style event to be staged. Racing twice over a 200m swim, 5k bike and 1.2k run Holly Gibbs placed third in the ladies event with Helen Tucker 5th, early leader Alex Hardy 7th and Karein Sindall 9th. Best placed male was Lee Thornhill in 5th with Dan Plews 11th and Danny McKeating 14th.

Anyone who fancies a go at this sort of event can try it out for free on August 25th at the AquaPura SuperSprint event at Eton. For details see the Human Race website.
