Alex Excels in Pro race for French Team Vallence!
Another fantastic race for Alex Dack last weekend. Well done Alex, really mixing it with the top guys now!!
This time he competed in Division 1 of the French Grand Prix series for professional French team Vallence triathlon at Albi near Toulouse.
In a very tough race where the water temperature was 23.8 degrees and the air temperature was a searing 33.2 degrees, Alex produced a very encouraging performance to finish in the top half of the field - just! He finished the 750m swim complete with Aussie exit and re-entry in 9.04, T1 (including a long uphill run) in 2.54, the 20km bike leg in 26.26, T2 in 0.49 and a tough, hilly 5km run in 15.59. This meant he finished in 55.10 for 40th place out of 80 finishers in a race won by world under 20 champion Tristan Do**he of France. Olympic bronze medallist Dorian Coninx could only finish in 7th place!
Thanks to dad Jez for this report.
Congratulations, Alex 🧡

Martin O'Grady made up for missing the Club's own White Cliffs Triathlon by winning his age group in the Tribesman Sprint Triathlon in Galway with a time of 1:11:39.
The bike leg was his 16th fastest overall on roads he has have trained in since the mid 1970s.
All is looking good for the National Championships in Wicklow on the 28th June.
Congratulations, Martin, and good luck 🍀

Three Dealies took on the 10 Bays Challenge recently.
This event is a choice of 15 miles or 10k, between Margate and Ramsgate and back, can only be done at low tide, and goes on the sandy beaches, round, up and down chalk stacks, a totally unique experience.
Karen Ash is one of our very experienced long distance runners and this Challenge suited her as she was 1 of only 6 women in the 15 mile distance and she finished in 1st place for her age group. Alan Gosman finished alongside her in a much bigger mens field. Bea Phillips rose to the challenge of scrambling up cliffs and running on the sand, making the most of her current form.
Well done, all 👏
