Ocean Lake Tri Aquathlon No. 1

Sunday 19th May 2019

Congratulations to Matt Steere and Steve Morris from Masters squad who competed in the first Aquathlon hosted by Ocean Lake Tri at Leybourne lakes on Wednesday evening. To try and make the event more accessable some shorter distances were added to the evening for those who fancy a go but are put off by the thought of swimming to the middle of a large lake, The choices were 400m, 750m or 1500m swim followed by either 2.5km or 5km run. Out of the 36 competitors only four opted for the 1500m swim, which of course included Matt and Steve. Matt was first out of the water in 19m 25s followed in second place by Steve in 22m 21s. Next out was Great Britain age group (25-29) triathlon squad member Matthew Latham in 24:28. Matthew's transition time (getting his wetsuit off and shoes on) was an incredible 42 seconds. In comparison, Steve took 1m 28s and Matt 1m 47s. Matt (our Matt from Masters) was nursing an injury so decided to switch to the 1500m/2.5k event during the run and finished in first place as the only competitor on that distance in 32m 6s having put in a run time of 10m 53s. Steve stayed on the 1500m/5k event and held his lead from GBR Matt for the entire first lap of the run. Sadly Mathew's run time of 19:46 was enough when combined with his transision gain to reel Steve in who finished 2nd in 44m 58s having put in a run of 22m 21s. Mathew's overall time was 44m 58s. Well done chaps.
