IPL Team Triathlon - IPL Directors Daren Capel and Colin Stroud teamed up with Rachel Bell to enter a novice team into the London Triathlon. What started as a Christmas festivities challenge gradually turned a little more serious as the event loomed and even resulted in an element of training! Rachel, with youth on her side, started proceedings with the 1500m open-water swim, exiting the water in a suburb 29th place and handing over to Colin for the 40km bike ride. All continued well until a collision with a slower cyclist after 5km, resulting in Colin completing the last 35kms with a badly buckled front wheel and a bout of road-rash to his knee, hip, elbow and shoulder. The baton was then passed to Daren for the 10km run and in the blistering heat he pushed hard, delivering a very respectable time and bringing the IPL sponsored team; Fins, Spins & Pins, into a very respectable 83rd place out of the 466 teams that started. What’s the next aim? …For the cyclist to stay on his bike and a top 40 team finish …watch this space!
