PANTRAC's Chris Pithey takes victory in Oundle

Following the 1,500m swim, competitor's cycled 3-laps around Glapthorn and the Benefield's on a hilly 27-mile course with the wind picking up; before finishing with a 4.75 mile run. Competitor's travelled over from as far afield as Ely, Northampton and Derby.

Chris Pithey was first out of the water and had a good lead over Rob Hammond and Matt Barnes. Chris forged ahead on the bike, with Matt moving into second, only to see Rob reclaim that spot on the run.

Not far behind were Andy Martin and Steve Skelhon with the former moving up to third on the run; with Chris holding onto his lead and coming home a comfortable winner.

Chris went one better than his previous best club result; a second place in the fourth of this year's Mini-Series events in June.

First lady was Debbie Montague in her fourth triathlon of a debut season. The first team was named Team 201, so named because of their combined ages of members Sean Whittaker, Georgina Jennings and Liz Whittaker.

Results: 1. Chris Pithey 2:13:42; 2. Rob Hammond 2:22:59; 3. Andy Martin 2:26:30.
