and worked hard for it. They played with 10 men for about 25 minutes but we weren't able to capitalise on that. “I can’t put my finger on

just 15 seconds behind thelead- inggirl.
The group then ran up a
grassy slope towards the tran sition area where they swapped their wetsuits for helmets be fore grabbing theirbikes. Along run up a steep hill followed, pushing their bikes until the specified‘mount’ line. After a 12km bike ride
around the park, the cyclists came into transition for the sec ond time. Blythe, by this point, was leading the female race and proceeded to run an extremely strong stage in 12.27 minutes, contributing to a finishing time that was good enough to beat everyone in the field except 12 male teenage athletes.

been crowned English Schools Fell champion, competedin her first Triathlon two years ago at EtonDorney, Windsor, and her talent was spotted by Racepace Triathlon coach Rodger Wilkins whotookherunderhis wing. Since joining Pioneer 79
