Duathlon Round 3 Race Report

Round 3 Results

22 competitors lined up for the start of Round 3 of the training duathlon series, as the action moved to Lough Key. Despite some early drizzle, conditions were good with a slight headwind out on the cycle course. Once again, Neil Walton took top honours, with a blistering sub-hour finish of 59.52. Sean Flannery was in hot pursuit until a puncture forced him to retire. This left his pursuers Niall Melvin and Rory O'Connor to take 2nd and 3rd respectively.
