14th May 10: Bruno Francisco recently completed at the European Duathlon Champs at Nancy on 2nd May and finished 9th in his age group (30-34) and was the 4th GB representative to cross the finish line. The event consisted of a 9km run, 38km cycle and 5km run. Both the run and bike routes were flat, fast but technical with several hairpin turns and chicanes to negotiate. Having suffered cramps in both calves on the bike Bruno miscalculated the number of laps and unfortunately continued for half lap extra before realising the competitors in front were actually a lap behind. He managed to turn round and returned to transition for the final run to finish in a time of 1:57. GB had a successful weekend bringing home medals for most age groups in both the men and women teams including a gold medal in Bruno's age group.
Bruno is currently on the reserve list for World Champs, Edinburgh in September this year and is awaiting for confirmation for team selection later this month.

14th March 10: JTC member Bruno Francisco impresses at UK Duathlon champs.
"I have just come back from the UK National Duathlon Champs at Clumber Park, Nottingham and have found out today that I have qualified to represent GB at the European Duathlon Champs in Nancy, France on 2nd May 2010 for my age group (30-34).
The nationals attracted a large field of over 650 entrants with top class athletes all competing for a place fin the World Champs later this year in Edinburgh in September and European Champs in May. The event also attracted sports celebrity, James Cracknell, who finished in 14th place overall. The weather was freezing with a convenient rain down pour just before the start making the 4ºC feel like below zero. The first 10KM had a lead bunch all running sub 32min followed by me in 34:45 in 25th place overall. The bike leg was an undulating two lap course with the big boys averaging 42km/hr. I lost too many places on the bike to make up on the second run (5KM) in 18:36 to finish 67th overall and 13th in my age group with an overall time of 2:01:57. It was a fantastic day out with the best in the country to put the trusty stead and my legs to the test. The sun eventually came out just after I finished the race... typical.
The next training block will now start for me to peak for the Euros in May with hopefully some French sunshine. See you at the duathlon next weekend."

The plan is to reach Gibraltar 2 weeks later which means racking up an average of around 140 km's a day. From there Mark and David will go on, cycle another 1000 odd km's going south into Morocco at which point Mark, having by then been gently warmed up, will start the Marathon Des Sables running daily marathons in the Sahara Desert for a week, carting around all his food and supplies in a rucksack between 2-9 April. We hope to return alive. If you would like to sponsor us please make cheques out to The Endeavour Charitable Trust.

11th March: The duathlon series continues this weekend with Sunday's race HQ at La Pulente, St. Ouen. The provisional course and distances will be a 5km run including the head-land, up Corbiere hill and long the Railway Walk back to transition. If that hasn't got the legs warmed up then the start of the 33km bike section, involving a trip along the 5 mile road and a steep climb up L'Etacq should do the trick! The rest of the bike includes one and half laps of the Bal Tab circuit and back down Hydrangea Ave to transition. The final run is a 3km out and back along the 5 mile road. I hope I haven't put anyone off! In fact as true multi-sporters we should be relishing the challenge...see you there!!!!!
