There were the usual close times throughout the field. Emma Sharkey put in a great performance to take 2nd place and at the same time beat her father Frank. Duathlon specialist Phil Wood of Invictus Tri Squad is improving with each week. Peter Morrison has been lurking in the top ten and is plucking up the courage to get out on his new TT bike one of these days. Johnny "Hooperman" is either playing it cool with the TTs this year (I mean, imagine treating them as training sessions) or he has a bit of remedial biking to do before we are deep in race season. And finally, is Wes Kettyle's determination to recover quick and get back out the bike pretty inspirational?
Note: there was a blue jacket left behind at Carryduff last week. If it is yours please get in touch.

Thanks to Peter and Ed for timekeeping. Peter is away the next two weeks. Kieran has kindly volunteered to timekeep next week but we need some more people to step up.
