Maria Wins the National Aquathlon Title in Salford

Maria Barret had another fantastic race in a very successful season. After a 9:46 swim (750m) she was third to exit the water and made up one position in transition. Leaving transition she was 25 yards behind the leader Emma Davis from University of Bath. Through a strong opening lap, Maria passed her and continued to push further and further ahead. By the end of the foruth lap (5km) Maria had a commanding lead and won 57 secs. She completed the run in 18:34 with a total time of 28:41. Total time Maria commented that the race had gone to plan, but the run ended more easily than she expected due to the lack of competition from her rivals.
Maria is now checking her availability for the World Aquathlon Championships later in the year.
Fergus Wiseman took part in the men's event and finished with a swim PB over this course of 13:25 and a run split of 19:56. The run course was longer than for the Salford Thursday Aquathlons and so this represents a PB here too. He finished in 50th position from a field of 85. "This was a much higher standard than we are used to in the North West", said Fergus - "itwas great to race amongst all these top class athletes."
