Dave Neilands reports . . . .

The Cockerham Triathlon gave Richard Jones and Denise Griffiths of Garstang Running Club the opportunity to demonstrate their versatility.  From a field of 72 made up of individuals and teams of 3 Richard finished 22nd in a total time of 1 hour 8.51 minutes which compared favourably with the individual winners time of 57.02 minutes.  Richard finished 25th in the 350 metre open water swim, 17th in the 15K bike ride and 33rd (he is supposed to be a runner) in the 5K run.  Denise finished 57th overall in a total time of 1 hour 25.16 minutes, finishing 59th in the swim, 60th in the bike section and 53rd in the run – showing consistency in all sections!

Richard had previously been racing at Ulverston for the 10K where he finished 68th out of 171 finishers in 42.24 minutes and at the Lancaster 5K where he finished 35th out of 80 in 19.32 minutes.  Not to be left out that other Richard – Roberts took part in the fourth and final Harrock Hill race of the year finishing 24th in 37.08 minutes in a field of 148.
