The glorious summer of 2017 continues and in dry, warm conditions we saw our highest turnout to date (46 starters) and some very fast times at the front of the field. Chris Mills (Clevedon & District RC) was just a minute off the course record, taking first place among the men with 38.07, while a close race for second saw Matt Washburn finish strongly in 41.29, just 6 seconds ahead of Stewart Downie (North Bristol Tri) in 3rd. Yvonne Cox added another Sri Chinmoy Races 2017 trophy to her collection, finishing first among the women with a time of 46.45, with the runner up spot going to Maite Roche (Thornbury RC) and third place to Katie Jones (Caldicot RC).

Sadly we had a couple of mechanicals, with Emily Graham forced to retire with a flat just as she started the ride. Harsharn Dephu overcame the double misfortune of a flat tyre and a broken chain to complete the course on foot in just over an hour and a half.

Our next Duathlon event is on the same course on Sunday 10 September, while the next race in our Summer Series is our Relay (for teams of 3, completing a single 1 mile lap each) in Eastville Park on 18th July. The Race Director has confirmed that the "free ice creams for all relay runners" offer is definitely on, so get yourself a team together (all abilities welcome) and you can sign up on the night.

Thanks to all who took part today and we hope to see you at another event soon.

About the author:

Tejvan organises short-distance running and cycling races for the Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team in his home city of Oxford. He is also a very good cyclist, having won the National hill climb championships in 2013 and finished 3rd in the National 100 Mile Time Trials in 2014.

On Monday 29th May we celebrated the 30th Anniversary of the Oxford Sri Chinmoy Peace Mile. Back in May 1987, Sri Chinmoy visited Oxford and dedicated this one-mile loop to peace with the then Oxford Mayor Bill Fagg. It was one of the first Peace Mile's dedicated to the cause of peace and joins other such Peace Miles, in London, Geneva, New York and many locations around the world. Shortly before the start of the event, Devashishu Torpy recalled his experience of running in the first junior race on the inaugural day back in 1987.

Shortly before the junior race at 5.30pm, we had an hour of sustained heavy rain, which made setting up the course a little more interesting. Fortunately, the race ceased just before the start, and five intrepid young runners took to the start line for a one-mile junior race. By the adult race of 7.00pm we had near perfect conditions with still wind, warm and just enough time to dry up the standing water. Paul Hughes of Abingdon A.C. was the fastest over the three miles with a time of 16.23. The fastest lady was Lucrezia Portigliatti of St Clare's in a time of 18.45

After the race, there was a commemorative medal of the event.

Thanks to John Harvey of Abingdon A.C for many excellent photos. See also Flickr Gallery here for more.

Thanks also to Emma Moore of Abingdon A.C. who kindly brought a very nice cake for our 30th Anniversary.
