It was a great weekend for triathletes from Mid Sussex Tri Club competing at events in Brighton and Italy.

The Brighton Half Marathon attracted five club members, with Jesse Govett achieving a personal best at this distance and Stewart Conway having a much needed ‘build’ race ahead of his World Championship race in 10 weeks’ time.

Matt Hall and Zoe Rocholl put in superb efforts on the course. supported by Sally Gardner as a race marshal.

Meanwhile in Bologna, Italy, keen runner and club coach Clarissa Walton enjoyed similarly sunny conditions for the city’s Half Marathon at 21.1km. She is pleased with her time of 2hr 12min, even though she managed to run an extra 600m.
