Llyr finished third in the tough Llandudno Duathlon
Report by Don Hale
Road Runner Llyr ApGeraint-Roberts finished 3rd in the Llandudno Duathlon on Sunday following a tremendous performance over a very tough and challenging course, which included both a 5k and 10k run, interspersed by four bike laps around the Great Orme.
Llyr’s impressive split times were: 18 mins and 13 secs for the 5k run. 1 hr 10 mins for the bike and 37 mins and 50secs for the final 10km run!
After the event he confirmed: “I came third in the Duathlon. Really chuffed, as it was a standard distance, which is basically two times the distance that I do in the sprint! So, I’ll take that in my first attempt at this event! Lots of support around the course from NWRRC members, and Carla Green on the Orme was immense!”

Richard and Katie Scamans and their friend Dave Myles formed a trio called Tri-Harder and competed in the Llandudno Triathlon on Sunday, with all three members recording season’s best times.
Just before the race an optimistic Richard, who is also a member of NWRRC, said: “We will be tackling the Triathlon as a relay team with Katie swimming a mile in the sea, and Dave cycling 35k – involving riding around the Great Orme four times! I somehow think I’ve got off lightly with just a flat 10k run along the prom and back three times.’
“Katie will start us off at 9.10am, then Dave will start around 10.00am on his bike, and I'll be running on the prom around 11.45. It's a great event, lots to see especially around the transition area.”
And after their efforts and delighted Richard added: “Well we did it, and it’s a season’s bests for all three of us. Well-done to Katie who was two minutes under her expected time, and Dave was fifteen minutes under his expected time, whilst I ran two minutes under my expected time. It was good fun, and thanks for all the support out and about on the course.”
Richard later posted their times which included Katie’s swim in 47 minutes and 21 seconds, with Dave’s bike ride in 1hr 29 minutes and 18 seconds, whilst Richard completed his 10k run in 43 minutes and 30 seconds. Their total times including transitions was 3 hrs 2 mins and 40 seconds.

Road running ultra-athletes Ben and Sarah Hudson celebrated running the Berlin Marathon last Sunday with respectable times despite still feeling the effects of their recent ultra distance challenges and competing with nearly 60,000 other runners!
Sarah confirmed: “Berlin done…no PB’s today as our legs are still not very happy after all the ultras, but we are over the moon with 3.58.08 for me, and 3.45.29 for Ben.
“I was just so chuffed to go sub 4 today! The conditions were pretty amazing, sunny and a lovely breeze but it’s so busy! Amazing atmosphere though!”
