Tom Steps up to long distance
Tom made his first venture into long distance triathlon at the weekend where he competed in the Elite European Long Distance championships. He finished a credible 17th completing the 4km swim, 120km bike and 30km run in a time of 5 hours 56 minutes despite the day not going entirely to plan! He is waiting to be able to walk properly again before confirming if he’ll be doing more of the long stuff!

Timo Bracht has been putting one of the first sets of Smart Enve system 3.4 wheels to good use winning the Viernheim Triathlon at the weekend where he also posted the fastest bike split by 4 minutes.

Wendy Houvenaghel came a close second, 17 seconds back, using her Smart Enve Wheel. The iRide boys also set a team competition record wearing our skinsuits and Blake Pond rode a set of our Smart Enve Wheels to victory in the South...

I’ve just heard from Timo who has continued to use his Smart Enve 6.7 wheels to great effect recently setting a new course record at the Ladenburg international triathlon in Germany. He has recently received one of the first sets of the Smart Enve System 3.4 wheels and I look forward to seeing him put them to use on hillier courses as he continues his build up to the Ironman World championships in Kona, Hawaii, in October this year. By then he’ll be spoilt for choice as far as wheel selections are concerned ...
