For those that know Parys will not be surprised, but she has managed to PB at Bala Standard Distance this weekend, despite having minimal run training over the last 2months due to injury. This placed Parys 4th female overall and 2nd in her category. This great result has also ensured that Parys has booked a place to go the Athlone in 2010 to compete in the European Standard distance champs for Great Britain, which was the main objective of this race. Well Done Parys

Ful-on Tri LEJOG team finishes in under 48 hours
Published 9 August, 2009 News Leave a CommentTags: Parys
I have been tracking the girls LEJOG effort on their twitter site and they have finished in a time of 46 hrs 16 min 26 sec. Blitzing their target of 48-64 hours, absolutely awesome effort and well done. Clearly the girls have demonstrated what great athletes they all are (we knew this already). Looking forward to seeing a full report on this epic effort.
The Ful-On Tri LEJOG relay team needs your support!

LEJOG is short for Land’s End to John O’Groats. In August (7th – 9th) 09 four female athletes from Ful-on Tri club will attempt to ride from LEJOG non stop in a relay. The LEJOG team are Emma Williams, Jess Taylor, Natalie Creswick & Pary Edwards (a Trifocus triathlete too). All of these team members are exceptionally strong cyclists. Each cyclist will be taking turns on the bike to cycle the distance, approximately 1000 miles from Land’s End to John O’Groats. They estimate it will take somewhere between 48 and 64 hours, each cyclist covering almost 250 miles and spending between 12 and 16 hours on the bike.
The team is raising money for the Dave Aitchison SportsAid Fund, a fund set up by the Ful-on tri club to honour his memory and talent and to support up and coming triathletes in the London region.
This is a truly fantastic cause and an awesome challenge. In recognition of this the team have announced their four key sponsors who are supporting them before, during and after the event. Prologue bikes, Physio SW19, Freedman International and Mercury1 have all generously donated time, money and equipment for the event.
Watch out for coverage of the LEJOG relay in Cycling Weekly, Tri247 and local papers including the Richmond and Twickenham Times.
If you would like to sponsor the team, please take the time to visit their Justgiving page, read more about Dave and learn more about the event. And if you can, sponsor the team on their epic journey.

On Sunday 14 June the Royal Windsor triathlon was held, of which 3 Trifocus athletes competed.
Parys continued her domination of the 2009 season to win the Female age-group race outright in a time of 2:22:16 an awesome race having only recently competed at the Europeans (Duathlon).
Andrea set herself a new PB on the Windsor course in a time of 2:36 and 10th in her age and Matthew completed his first ever triathlon in a time of 2:41, with a solid 6 months of training we were able to beat both his initial target time (prior to training) & revised target commenting that apart from his rush in the start of the swim he was able to execute consistent pacing for all disciplines. Well done to all for your individual achievements at Windsor
