SPRINT SATURDAY<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Slateman Saturday consists of the shorter races of the weekend. With the first day of the two-day Savage Race and the Sprint Triathlon. A sprint duathlon was added this year alongside the Sprint which added to the racing and delivered both in terms of challenging terrain and competitive racing.<\/p>\n

As sprint races go, the Slateman course is one of the tougher on the calendar. With the swim in the chilly waters of Llyn Padarn and a bike taking in the steep ascent and descent of Pen y Pass, a shin-splittingly savage climb into the forests of Elidir Fach finishes the race. The women\u2019s race saw a tight finish with Rebecca Lodge taking the win by 31 seconds to Ruth Purbrook in a time of 1.19.14 and third going to Hannah Bruce of Manchester Tri.<\/p>\n

In the men\u2019s race the battle for first was fought hard in the forest, with Scott Hill of RAF Triathlon emerging victorious in 1.13.12, followed by Dan Elliot in 1.14.53 and Jon Reilly in third in a time of 1.15.38. This was the first time the podium has been taken by three Savage Athletes.<\/p>\n

The all-new Duathlon saw Stephen Abbott win the men\u2019s race with a time of 1:22:05, while Rhian Roxborough of GOG Tri took first place in the women\u2019s race with a time of 1:23:17.<\/p>\n
