Todmorden Harriers held their club Team Duathlon at the weekend, featuring a fell run, road run and cycle.
The teams of three were seeded to ensure close competition, with the cycle and fell entrants simultaneously setting off from the race HQ at the Summit Inn at one minute intervals, before the fell runner handed over to their road runner.
The winning team, with a combined time of 2:24:17, featured Emma Osenton, Wayne Morrison and Chris Preston.
They held a winning margin of 5 minutes over their closest rivals, but it was a close fight for second place with the combination of Geoff Read, Mel Blackhurst and Richard Butterwick just edging out the trio of Andrew Horsfall, Ray Poulter and Claire Duffield.
Trevor Davies set the fastest cycle time of the day around the 20 mile loop via Mytholmroyd, Cragg Vale and Littleborough, completing the route in breezy conditions with a time of 1:02:35.
Andrew Wrench was the fastest on the 5 mile fell run route, finishing in 29:47.
Robin Tuddenham completed the 5 mile road loop through Calderbrook and Littleborough in 29:24
The day had an added element of a ‘guess your time’ competition, with Alistair Rhodes-Dawson impressively coming within one second of his predicted road time. Richard Leonard was closest to his guess for the cycle, at 28 seconds with Wayne Morrison only 35 seconds away from his expected fell run time.
