Matt Hickman was the first home for Hitchin based multi sports club FVS TRI in the Milton Keynes Big Cow Duathlon. The 4.5k run/16k bike/4k  run event  was based around the Milton Keynes Bowl with  the 10 lap bike course  using the service road loop to  provide  some tight and technical racing. Matt completed the event in 1:09:18 with the fastest bike leg of the 5 club members  and ahead of Richard Thomas who showed good early season form with a time of 1:12:01.  Gemma Sargent  was first home for the women in  1:13:42 recording the fastest times in both run legs and competing in her first duathlon  for  the club. Naomi Woodland and Meli Fletcher also competed in their first duathlons for the Club and finished in 1:15:55 and 1:23:43 respectively.

The penultimate Sunday Cross Country League Fixture took to the hills of Royston on a course which proved testing to  FVS TRI teams depleted by seasonal illness.  Steve Harrison was first home for the men in 2nd, leading the A team to 4th on the day, good enough to maintain 2nd in the overall A team competition.  Brian White was 2nd for FVS TRI in 25th with James Grierson 3rd in 31st. Pete Eames completed his 3rd cross country race in 7 days and finished strongly to score for the A team as 7th scorer.  Excellent participation from FVS TRI men has ensured 2nd place in the B Team competition in every race although a lack of older athletes means a 6th overall in the veteran competition.  Antonia Field returned from illness to lead the women home with 6th position. A strong finish from improving Gemma Sargent(10th) and good team performances from veteran athlete Lesley Dutton (13th) Chris Yuill (14th) and Penny Wylie (25th) ensured a comfortable 2nd for the A Team and 2nd for the Veterans Team. The women have finished 2nd in both competitions in every fixture this year ensuring a consolidated 2nd overall behind leading local specialist run club, Garden City Runners.  In the combined competition for top club, FVS TRI still maintain their second position behind Garden City Runners and hope to hold on at the last fixture next month at Watford.
