Eighty Seven competitors lined up in this Duathlon – (Run and Bike) – and Shaun Livesey was amongst them. Finishing 6th overall in 2hr 03.53 Shaun with the Bike Ride part of the Race in tough and windy conditions, Shaun nevertheless ran the joint fastest time of the day (23.11) on the first run and the 2nd fastest time of the day on the second run in 25.38.
Shaun told us that this was “my first attempt at the discipline…… I was found wanting on the bike in tough windy conditions, with the top riders putting 9 mins into me………It was a very strange feeling running after working hard on the bike. I was first into t1, then 8th after the bike then made up 2 places on the run”.
And still on the bike was Andy Buttery in the Calderdale Mountain Bike Marathon (26.2miles/3200ft) last weekend.

The winner did it in 2hrs 4mins…..Very tough event, but really enjoyed it and looking forward to the cross country season now“.

Mike Hazlewood, a long standing member of Blackburn Harriers living in Sweden now, is still competing in the V65 Age Gategory. This year Mike has “only managed 2 comps – the less than inspiring UK Indoors & the Swedish Masters at Gavle over 16 – 18 Aug. Mixed results – shot 10.89 (3rd), discus 39.95 (2nd), hammer 38.43 (3rd), jav 32.45 (4th) & weight 15.14 (3rd). Overall I was quite pleased, despite falling on my face in jav & weight!”
No mean achievement to still be competing at the age of 67yrs and with one eye on the rest of the Clubs activities, Mike said he “was delighted with the Harriers success and well done to everyone”. With one eye on the rest of the Club’s activities Mike was “delighted with the BBH sucess – well done to everyone”
