Wasn't it only last week the country was battling blizzards and covered in a thick blanket of snow? Well before you know it the multisport season has arrived! Keen to blow away the winter cobwebs and put all that winter training to good use was Freedom's Chris Belcher and Peter Carpenter. Nice Tri's annual Bedford Autodrome Duathlon is always a popular early calendar race, run on the slick professional motorsport track. The race format comprised 5k run/20k bike/2.5k run and was a hotly contested ITU age group qualifying race too. Chris crossed the line in 107th place, 13th in AG with 1:01:17 and Peter 231st place, an impressive 3rd in his AG with 1:38:04. Chris awaits the results from Clumber Park to see if he was successful in his bid to join this year's GB squad in Denmark. Good luck Chris!

Over at the Barcelona Marathon James Parsons & Chris Clark crossed the finish line together in 1076th & 1077th place in a very impressive 3:12:29.
