The weekend saw nearly 1,000 people racing at the Triathlon Expo in Stratford and the Swansea Valley Duathlon and National Duathlon Championships, won by Richard Jones (1:47:31) and Bella Comerford (2:00:54). Danny Hayes and Anneliese Heard took the junior race and there's a report on the BTA website.

We also had GB elite racing the ITU Cup race at St Anthony's in Florida. Heather Williams was supposed to be in the female elite, won by Carol Montgomery (CAN) in 2:01:56, but she isn't down as a finisher, while for the men we had the prospect of Simon Lessing in his first race since London last September. However, despite being on the ITU lists while the event was happening, Katherine Williams reports that Lessing wasn't even there as he has apparently sustained an Achilles injury while training. Simon Whitfield (CAN) won the mens in 1:48:52 with Richard Allen 11th (1:51:58), Richard Stannard 21st (1:53:31) and Chris Moffatt 31st (1:57:22). Special thanks to Eric Schwartz and Katherine Williams for getting us the results so quickly. The full splits and a race report are on the ITU website.
