WELCOME TO THE TEAM BIS TRIATHLON PAGES!

With barely enough time for the three peaks blisters to calm down, TEAM BIS are on the road again - this time to the London Triathlon.  Aug 9th will see Si McKinna and Tom Jaggard tackle the Olympic distance triathlon - 1,500m Swim (Si), 40Km Bike (TJ) & 10Km Run (Si). It’s our first time, so we are simply hoping for a finish this time out!

Tom will be enduring 3 massive bike races in that 1 week and will raising money for a good cause - more info and how to help here shortly - well done to Tom for completing his three race challenge - see all the info and there is of course, still time to pledge - take a look at www.justgiving.com/tomjaggard

Just a couple of pictures from the event - and of course there’s the official race finish footage, care of Virgin Media, click to enlarge:

Our 2009 Tri season got underway with a freebie at Blenheim (thanks Virgin!).  Sprint event this time, so not quite so much pressure! It was a great day out, only spoilt by the constant rain! results:

Overall, we came in 1hour 32minutes 09seconds - 79th place of 188 finishers, breakdown:

Simon (swim):            17m 45s (111) - Serious kick in the head at the start!
Trans1 (lake to bike)  3m 11s (24) -     That felt about a mile long, and steeper than the Ben!
Tom (bike):                  45m 14s (102) - Awesome ride given the dire conditions
Trans2 (bike to run)   1m 19s (32) -      Faster than a ferrari pitstop
Kevin (run):                 24m 42s (34) -   That’s seriously fast! and he was moaning it was slow!!

Thanks again to the company for our free place, we’ll next appear at London in August, watch this site!

This link will take you to the Virginmedia page, where you can watch us cross the line - just enter bib no 5215!

This link will take you to the SportCam pages where you can see the official photo’s of us in action [un]fortunately there’s none of Macca in his wetsuit and pink cap!!

Our 2009 Triathlon season continued with another splendid day at London!   Simon & Tom racked up early to avoid the crowds and take in the expo, so it was a bit bizarre when we returned to find that of the 400 or so other bikes, Cathal’s Finance team had racked right next to us!! The competition was on!:

It was a great day and great competition, it’s a big event, so if you get the chance, you really should go for this - the crowds on the run are just great

Overall, we came in 2hour 48minutes 11seconds - 223rd place of 406 finishing teams, breakdown:

Simon (swim):              36m 13s
Trans1 (water to bike) 3m 47s
Tom (bike):                    1hr 23m 09s
Trans2 (bike to run)     1m 45s
Simon (run):                 43m 19s

   We were well chuffed to break three hours, by a stonking 12 minutes in the finish!!

Thanks again to the company for our free place, TEAM BIS will be in action again soon...
