Thames Turbo WIN the London League
The call to action came and the members responded. Not only did we dominate the podium at the Jeykll and Hyde duathlon but we also filled the field with red, white and blue (with over 30 members racing). Our friends and London rivals Ful on Tri were a whisker away from taking the 2010 London League title and only a mob match plus overall victory at the final race of the season could prevent this from happening. Well done to Thames Turbo Sigma Sport team members Andrew Mercer and Esther Evans for taking the men’s and ladies title at the Jeykll and Hyde duathlon. We did it!

At the weekend Luke Penney and Pav Rooprai took their place as part of the London Region Team to race at the Inter Regional Championship in Wales. For the first time this year the race involved an open water swim and was draft legal.
To be selected for the team you had to be first or second in your age group in the selection races that took place throughout the spring/summer. For Luke this was his second appearance at the National level competion, Pav only started triathlon this season so what an amazing achievement. Both boys had fantastic races and Luke came 3rd in his age group in the country.
