8th June - Dann Brook wins Rother Valley Triathlon / Blenheim update

Dann Brook continued his fine season to date, and completed the perfect preparation for this weekend's Ironman UK 70.3 event by winning the Rother Valley Triathlon yesterday. You can read Dann's report on his race HERE. Joining Dann in Wimbleball on Sunday will be team mate Phil Graves, arguably the fastest cyclist in UK triathlon at the moment, and he will be hoping the tough bike course is to his liking. He comes into the event in good form, having one his first half ironman distance race last month at Belvoir Castle by over 15 minutes. They will be joined by newlywed, Alex Brooks.

Dann and Phil will be facing a strong professional field, including defending champion Fraser Cartmell, Stephen Bayliss and Björn Andersson, the Swedish super-biker.

Yesterday, Phil, along with sister Vicky plus Lois Rosindale and Steve Worthington raced at the Mazda Blenheim Triathlon. Steve unfortunately didn't finish, having been knocked unconscious in the swim (he's ok now!). Phil finished tenth, and Lois and Vicky fourth and eighth respectively in the junior category.
