Bolton 70.3 recap.
On June 7th Frank McIntyre raced his first 70.3 🎉
Frank started off with a 35:23 swim leg in Pennington Flash before heading to T1.
The 90km bike leg took Frank from Pennington Flash to Bolton City Centre via Rivington and Westhoughton, gaining over 800m of elevation across the bike course. Frank finished the bike leg in 3:09.
From T2 Frank ran laps through Queens Park and via Chorley New Road to complete a hilly half marathon in 2:13.
With an overall time of 6:10:48, congratulations to Frank on an excellent performance! No doubt we’ll be seeing him enter more 70.3’s in the future 🥳
