Very early on a Sunday morning with an 8am start AVRs Chris Keeffe had travelled to Portland to take part in the Osprey Sprint Triathlon looking to improve on his second attempt at the sport, writes Dave Mutter.

With a 300m pool swim followed by a very hilly 17k bike and a dead flat 5k Chris finished 72nd out of the 165 finishers with a total time of 1.19.03.

His split timings were: 7.44, 44.31 and 24.09.

He was very pleased to have improved in all areas.
