Graham Kemp (Team Bottrill/HSS Hire) and Sarah Harrison (Sheffield Triathlon Club) took victories after a tough morning in north Shropshire.

Despite times being down by over a minute slower due to the conditions Kemp clocked a winning time of 53 minutes and 29 seconds for victory.

It was Kemp’s second victory of the season on the course after also winning the WCTTCA & SCCA 30 two weeks earlier, on an extended version of course.

On that occasion, he won by over two minutes but this time Phil Murphy (Total Tri Training) halved his advantage finishing a minute behind in 54.37.

Last rider off Ian Holbrook (Stone Whls) won a close battle for third finishing in 55.27, just three seconds faster than Mark Brearton (Wigan Whls).

After finishing second on the same course in April, Harrison went one better on this occasion to win the women’s event in 1:03.37.

She was run close by Pauline Hughes (Revolution Racing) who finished just three seconds behind in second, Jenny York (Mid Shropshire Whls) took third in 1:05.21.

The team award was won by Wrexham RC.
