Saturday saw the ITU World Championship Triathlon Series come to London with all the world’s top women triathletes competing in Hyde Park.

Udo’s Choice fan Helen Jenkins, Britain’s number 1 female triathlete was vying to win on home soil and climb up the world rankings to challenge the leaders.

68 women dived into the Serpentine to swim the 1500 metre first leg of this increasingly popular spectator sport. American Laura Bennett came out of the water first after just over 19 minutes with Emma Moffatt and Andrea Hewitt, ranked 1 and 2 in the World Championship series just behind her.

Udo’s fan Nick Beer – Elite Triathlete won his age group race at Salford Quays Aquathlon this last weekend and came 3rd overall. Nick told us “Forthe first time this season i felt competitive and i know, once i am fresher things will be really good. I am in a hard block of training at the moment with the main focus being the London Triathlon.

Thanks again for the Udo’s Oil, it has been a massive help getting back on track from my dreadful start to the season and recovering properly fromtraining.

Winner of Allerthorpe Sprint Triathlon - Tom Room

Last weekend saw the 3rd race in the Udos Choice Triathlon race series and what a great race it was.  This open water event is hugely popular due to the beautiful course, the impeccable organisation – thank you to Freebird Events for that – and of course the competitors – 300 of them.

Steve Osbourne at the finish

After entering this race I knew it was going to be a challenge. But didn’t quite expect what I found…. The race was set in fantastic town just inside the state of Utah called St George.(about a 90 min drive north from Las Vegas)

The swim was set in a beautiful sandstone resevoir surrounded by snow capped mount

Driffield winner Peter Lynas being congratulated by David Gunning, Marketing Manager for Udo's Choice

Driffield hosted the 2nd of the Udos Choice Triathlon Race Series this year and proved to be very competitive with the time between 1st and 3rd being just 32 seconds.  The winner this year, Peter Lynas of “TFN” finished in 53 mins 57 secs with last year’s winner Oliver Dixon of “Ceepo TFN RT” finishing 3rd.  Seperating the two was Andy Martin of “Army Triathlon Association” just 11 seconds behind the winner.  Congratulations to all three for a terrific race.

Neil Bryant - out and about on his JOGLE

Some of you may not have heard of “Ultrarunning” – less of you would feel inclined to don your trainers and take up the sport !  Infact, this is seems less a sport, more an adventure through dark valleys of painful limbs and powerful mental challenges.   Ultrarunning is extreme!  “Ultrarunning” is long…..long……long distance running!

Neil Bryant

Udo’s Choice are proud to announce the sponsorship of Neil Bryant, one of Britain’s foremost “Ultrarunners”.  For those of you not familiar with the term “ultrarunner” these are people who decide, in their wisdom, that it would be a great idea to run long distances…..and we mean longggggggg distances!!!  For instance, Neil is about to run the “JOGLE”.

That’s the John O’Groats to Lands End race – in just 15 days !!!!!!!
