On the weekend of 11-12 July, Honiton Running Club member Ellie Dominey travelled to Banyoles in Spain to take part in the European Duathlon Championships. Ellie decided to take part in both the sprint distance (5km run – 20km bike – 2.5km run) on the Saturday, followed by the standard distance (10km run – 40km bike – 5km run) on the Sunday. Taking in to consideration how hot it was over that weekend, this was going to be an undertaking of epic proportions!!. Going into day 1, Ellie would have been very happy to get a medal of any colour . She had a great race and gained a bronze medal, however she did feel like she missed an opportunity to take home the gold medal due to poor transitions. Still a great achievement On to day 2 for the standard distance and Ellie had another fantastic race and went one better than the previous day by gaining the silver medal. What a fantastic weekend of racing by Ellie, a fabulous achievement to bring back 2 medals.
