WORLD CHAMPION!!!
BlackCat athlete Selina Clifford took her first AG World Title (35-39) at the World Triathlon Age-Group Championships in Torremolinos on Saturday!! This crowned an incredible season of Tri, TT and running success and was her main goal of 2024!
Exiting the water after a slower swim than she wanted, Selina came through T1 onto the bike to record the fastest bike split of the entire day at 1:03:03, then power through T2 to finish with a run split of 38:44 - over 1 minute faster than the next best split!
Her overall time of 02:15:58 put her 21s ahead of 2nd place - an amazing performance from this incredibly hard- working athlete!!
Look out for Selina in 2025 both in Tri and in TT - lots of goals to come!!

Winners!!! BlackCat rider Ashley Newman .newmancyclist partnered with Tim Flynn finished first pair in the absolutely brutal Transiberica 2024 !!
The event is unsupported and one-stage, meaning that the racers must plot their own route between the mandatory checkpoints. This year the route started in Bolzano, Italy and finished in Bilbao, Spain. It covered some absolutely spectacular terrain, with some of the toughest climbs a cyclist can come up against....
Finishing in 9 days, the stats were:

Total miles 1739.21
Total elevation 112, 801 feet.

An absolutely amazing result in a brutally hard event - well done!!!
