6 mile canicross.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Although it was the smallest of the races with only eight runners, the 3 mile race perhaps had the most interesting results with the first male and female place going to the only two children in the race, brother and sister Kieran and Chloe Morgan aged 12 and 11 respectively with times of 26:23 and 29:33 (again respectively).&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a

Ironman<\/h2>\n<p>Hubert Ashley-Towell and Glen Harvey managed to complete a gruelling Ironman challenge in Barcelona this weekend. &nbsp;(Note: it tends to get called a challenge rather than a race in that just finishing one is quite an achievement). &nbsp;As you probably remember, an ironman involves a 2.4 mile swim followed by a 112 mile bike ride followed in turn by a marathon. &nbsp;Hubert was competing in the M45-49 class and finished in a total time of 11:50:32 (hours:minutes:seconds) while Glen, competing in the M50-54 class finished in 13:53:27.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a
