National silver for Esther


West Suffolk Wheelers & Triathlon Club father and daughter duo Julian and Esther Colman 
competed in the British Triathlon Championships in Liverpool on Sunday.


Both raced in the standard distance (1500m swim; 40km bike and 10km run) on a course which took 
in closed roads around the city centre, with the swim section in the docks. Both were more than 
equal to the atrocious weather conditions, with the unrelenting rain and wind playing havoc and 
blowing over the metal barriers and signs.


Esther continued her fine recent performances with an overall time of 2:25:12 (22:35 swim leg, 
1:10:32 bike and 46:50 run) for 2nd.
Julian also put in a fine effort of 2:46:56 (29:06; 1:20:53 and 49:30) to cap a great day’s racing for the 
Colman family.
