Despite going on 1 minute intervals there were plenty of battles along the course as riders caught one and another. Most pairs remained together and danced a light fandango down the Comber Road on what was a pleasant evening weatherwise.

Thanks to everyone for competing in the right spirit and making the night enjoyable. Commiserations to Shane for pairing with European Duathlon Age Group winner Paul Carroll. For his reward Shane will now be able to live the dream and eat as many Jaffa Cakes as he wants.
