Yorkshire 10 mile & National 100 - Phil Graves

Post by justsweat »

Ironman 70.3 UK winner Philip Graves has been in great form this year, which will no doubt be especially pleasing to his new race team (www.teamactivinstinct.co.uk). Phil took part in two championship time trials this weekend, and came away with a gold and a bronze. On Saturday, he won the Yorkshire 10-mile TT Championship, recording a course record time of 20:02. It's no mean feat pushing Wayne Randle (20:30) into second place, as there are those who call Wayne the "world's hardest bike rider"!

On Sunday , Phil took on Britain's best in the RTTC National 100-mile Championship, recording a time of 3:37:41 (that's 27.56mph average!), to take the bronze medal behind legend of British time trialling Michael Hutchinson (3:27:26) and former multiple champion Kevin Dawson (3:33:25). A familiar name from the triathlon past, Julian Jenkinson, was 11th (3:49:08).
