Snowdonia Slateman Triathlon - Owain Llŷr James

Submitted by gwynforjames on Thu, 26/05/2011 - 09:04

I was looking forward to competing in Snowdonia Slateman Triathlon for some time. I was supposed to do the British Triathlon Super Series in Strathclyde, a part of the Welsh team, but with three races needed to count, I could afford to do my local triathlon. By local, I mean local, not getting up at 4.30 in the morning and travelling or staying the night before. I had to travel 4 miles to get to the Slateman, so a bit of a lie in for a change.

It was the 5th race of the Tuesday night series, oddly enough, last Tuesday, 10th May at Moel y Gest near Porthmadog. It was only my second race of the series, as they clash with a Tuesday night time trials organised by Clwb Rasio Mona.

I received my new bike last week, courtesy of Gareth and Matt of Evolution Bikes in Bangor. Over the past two years, their support has been invaluable, allowing me trouble free cycling, both for training, riding in the local time trials and competing at triathlon.

Moel Wnion Race - Owain Llŷr James

It was my first fell race of the season on Saturday, at Moel Wnion.
The 4.5m (7.2km)1800ft (549m) climb started at Abergwyngregyn, with a steep ascent to the summit of Moel Wnion. Runners from the friendly Hunters Bogg Trotters came down all the way from Scotland, together with runners from Ambleside and Mercia and the local clubs meant that the field was quite strong.

Cerist Aquathlon Series Race 2 - Owain Llŷr James

Submitted by gwynforjames on Mon, 21/02/2011 - 15:30

Second day of racing with a 5am wake up call, in order to start for Machynlleth, and the second in a series of three races in the Cerist Triathlon Winter Aquathlon series. 1½ hours later I arrived at Machynlleth. Only 35 people made the trip, less than the 1st race, perhaps the longer swim and 10kM run kept people away?

Cerist Aquathlon Series Race 1 - Owain Llŷr James

Submitted by gwynforjames on Wed, 26/01/2011 - 23:16

I missed the North Wales Cross Country League at Lilleshall in order to take part in the 1st of the Cerist aquathlon races. A 6am start in the fog, gave way to slightly better, but much colder weather further south in Machynlleth. Fifty athletes braved the chilly conditions to swim 400m, followed by a 5kM run.
