Nativity Activity
The Pirton Boxing Day Run was a great opportunity to burn off a few Christmas calories for the triathletes and family members of FVS TRI. The adult finishers over the 3.2 mile off road course were rewarded with a specially brewed bottle of beer from the Buntingford Brewery supporters of the race. There were also shorter races for the under 11 and under 5 family members with prize winners for FVS TRI across all races and categories! Although the race was a fun filled family affair, it was still rather competitive with a winning time of 17:03. The ever improving Mark Robertson was rewarded with a first home for the club in 4th (3rd Male Senior) in 19:11, with Gavin May and Rob Wilson also managing top ten performances with 19:49 and 20:13 for 7th and 9th respectively, Rob lifting the Male Vet 40 prize for his efforts.
Andrew Mussett continued the theme with a win in the Male Under20, Jackie Perry and Lesley Dutton 1st and 2nd in the FV45 category with Kate Turner literally seconds behind to also take 3rd Female Senior. Family member Jess Harris was 1st FV35 in her first outing under the FVS TRI banner.
The Robertson family were also represented by dad John and sister Claudine who ran in together in 35:20.
The under 11 race was won by Alfie Laughton with Annabelle Shortland also representing FVS TRI. Elliot Sprawson & Daisy Laughton raced in the Under 9 race and Tilly Turner won the first girl under 5 prize, rounding off a top day out for FVS TRI

Steve James and Paul Gibb were also racing on Boxing day and on the 29th in the Imperial Winter Racing Series at Hillingdon Cycle Circuit. The 4th category race was a fast and furious multi lap event over 25km with Steve James improving from 9th to 5th over the two events. Unlucky Paul Gibb had a puncture on Boxing Day but finished 14th in the second event after Christmas
The Buntingford Year End 10 was on the Sunday between Christmas and New Year and provided another opportunity to burn off the Christmas pudding in unseasonal mild weather. First home for FVS TRI was Simon Hall, 8th overall and 3rd MV40 in 58:34. Sam Tophill was 5th FV35 and 69th overall from 443 finishers in a time of 1:09:48. Strong performances from Herts Fire Fighter Pete Bardell in 1:06:15 and Greg Evans under 70 minutes in 1:09:38. The improving Drew Lowrie finished in 1:15:32 matching Chris Suckling for time but one position behind on the run in.

Rob Wilson completed the Ely 10K in near perfect conditions and finished 41st out of 549 starters in 38:25, a PB by 50 secs on the mostly flat course despite being sent sprawling at the half way point by a clipped heel!
