TRIATHLON: Bronze for Brill at RAF Scampton
Peterborough Triathlon Club (PACTRAC) youngster Flo Brill made the podium at the RAF Scampton Junior Duathlon at the weekend.
Brill, who is a top cross-country runner with Nene Valley Harriers, came a gallant third, finishing just 15 seconds behind the winner and just five seconds adrift of the runner-up.
She was catching the two in front on the final run, but ran out of time.
Clubmate Safford Hewitt-White was in a group of three chasing hard for a podium spot in her race, but just missed out.
