All the latest from Cirencester Athletics and Triathlon Club.

Belated and renewed congratulations to Adrian Williams whose great performance at the World Age Group Duathlon Champs in Denmark in July was recently upgraded to bronze medal status following the disqualification of a Spanish athlete for drugs violations and now for another fine performance and 3rd place at Bowood House this week end. Congratulations too go to Tom Williams who was 6th in his 11-12 age group and young Millie Chudley finishing 19th in her 9-10 age group.

Gloucestershire XC League (1 of 4), Old Down Country Park, Thornbury

The new cross country season kicked off in Thornbury where our four teams celebrated two birthdays, enjoyed atypically warm and dry conditions and ate cake. After many individual battles against fierce competition and strong winds our one junior team finished 4th, the Ladies (with 3 to score) 11th and 29th and the Men(needing 6 to score) 6th Our “senior” teams fared slightly better in the Masters with 10th and 20th for the Ladies (still 3 to score) and 3rd for the men (with a reduced 4 to score) so giving us a firm platform on which to build over the next three meets. A particular welcome to X country newcomers including Eleanor Sheffield, Alexi Shea and Rachel Jones and a warm welcome awaits any other members wanting to give it a go.
