Three intrepid travellers from Wallasey A.C. went to Germany last week to compete in the Ironman Challenge Triathlon at Roth in Germany. All three had great performances led by Phil Walton who completed the 3800m swim, 180km cycle and Marathon in an astonishing total time of 11hrs and 7 minutes. Swim 1hr 11m, Bike 5hrs 32m and Marathon 4hrs 13m. Phil Cuthbert completed the course in a total of 11hrs 57mins breaking the elusive 12hr barrier. Swim 1hr 18m, Bike 6hrs 01m and Marathon 4hrs 17m. Dave Walton finished in 12hrs 12m taking 1hr 7m for the swim, 5hrs 53m for the bike and 4hrs 51m for the marathon. Paul Thelwell had a good solid race completing it in 13hrs 52m and John Thelwell managed 12hrs 22m with a broken toe The temperature was a baking hot 28 degrees C and so all the performances were excellent and they should all be proud of themselves. Well done to one and all.
