Llanelli Duathlon 11-03-01
The conditions at Stradey Park were cold, wet and windy, but nearly 70 athletes turned up, keen to get the 2001 season started. Martin Powell won the event by a large distance over former European Duathlon Champ Mike Trees. Tim Lewis and Steve Ruck had a close battle just outside the top 10 throughout the race, with Tim just winning it by 20 seconds after passing and pulling away on the bike only to be slowly reeled back on the run. These 3 counted towards the team prize which we just lost to Multisport RC by just 50seconds with a combined time of over 4.5 hours. Anita Howells was the only other Taff Ely entrant and she won the Lady Super Vet race by over 10 minutes.

Fontygary Triathlon 15-04-01
The rain stayed away but it was a very windy morning in Rhoose for the Fontygary Triathlon 2001. With such a large amount of entrants from Taff Ely we were looking for some good results. It wasn't dissapointing, an excellent result for Taff Ely with Jeff Wills taking first place overall, from a strong cycling Steve Wilcox, and Gerwyn Davies taking first Veteran and sixth place overall. With another 4 Taff Ely members breaking 1 hour and most others improving on their previous attempts on the course. Congratulations also to Cara James and Mandy Jennings for competing in their first triathlon, now you know what its about you can only get faster.
