New duathlon Storm The Castle brought 195 multisport athletes to Shropshire recently, drawn by such lovely-sounding challenges as the Lactic Ladder and The Wall.

With Ludlow Castle as a backdrop, it involved a 10km run, 33km bike and 5km run, and the organisers tried hard to make sure it lived up to its billing as the ‘UK’s toughest duathlon’.

The thorny question of which British athletes will be going to Rio 2016 takes one step closer to being answered at the ETU European Cup race in Antalya, Turkey this weekend, with 13 Home Nations athletes competing for six slots at the Rio test event in August.

Britain’s major international medal winners have already secured their slots at the Rio test event (1-2 August). Jodie Stimpson, Non Stanford, Helen Jenkins and Vicky Holland are set to compete in the women’s race, whilst Alistair and Jonathan Brownlee are set for the men’s event.
>>> Rio 2016 triathlon test events confirmed for August 2015
This weekend’s races will decide who takes the two remaining women’s places and the four spaces that are open in the men’s race. The highest placed British female medal winner in Antalya will be automatically selected, and the second slot will be decided by a panel next week.
The men’s race is more open with four slots available. The top two medal winners can secure their places, and the remaining two slots will be selected by a panel.
British athletes racing at Antalya ETU Triathlon European Cup (1500m swim, 40km bike, 10km run):
– Hannah Drewett
– India Lee
– Emma Pallant
– Heather Sellars
– Lucy Smith

– Gordon Benson
– David Bishop
– Thomas Bishop
– Adam Bowden
– Mark Buckingham
– Matthew Sharp
– Grant Sheldon
– Philip Wolfe
The standard distance race in Antalya features a sea swim, and flat sea front bike and run courses. Five British women and eight men will start, with the women going off first on Sunday morning (3 May) followed by the men in the afternoon.
Emma Pallant demonstrated that she’s in good form by finishing in the top ten at the Discovery World Triathlon Cape Town last Sunday. India Lee also showed good bike and run form with an elite bronze medal at the ETU Duathlon European Championships in Spain last weekend.
In the men’s race, Adam Bowden is the top ranked athlete in the field with Tom Bishop second. Bowden is starting his season, whilst Bishop has the confidence of having had a great ITU World Triathlon Series race in Auckland. Gordon Benson comes in having won the previous ETU European Cup event in Melillia, Spain, two weeks ago.
British Triathlon Performance Director, Brendan Purcell, explained: “We place a great emphasis on the ability to perform under pressure on a given day, so we hope to see some great racing this weekend with the big incentive of going to Rio in August.”
He added: “In previous test events the results have given a strong indication of who might feature at the Olympic Games a year later. It’s an exciting opportunity to be part of that, and I’m looking forward to seeing who puts their hands up this weekend.”

Thirteen Brits braved rough seas at the ETU European Cup in Turkey last Sunday (3 May) in the hunt for spots at the Rio triathlon test event this August, with India Lee, Mark Buckingham and Adam Bowden making the strongest case for inclusion.

>>> Rio 2016 triathlon test events confirmed for August 2015
The women were first to start and the small field of just 22 athletes soon broke up into small groups and individual athletes. Hannah Drewitt had the best of starts amongst the British women but it was India Lee who made the best of the bike and run course and claimed the third spot on the podium behind Russians Elena Danilova and Alexandra Razarenova.
Tough week but laid myself on line 4Rio test spot,2spaces up 4grabs,came 2nd brit,hopefully enuf 4 @BritTri selection pic.twitter.com/0DpjYNpljF
— Emma Pallant (@EmmaPallant) May 3, 2015
Emma Pallant was the next best Briton in sixth. Hannah Drewitt was eighth.
Tom Bishop led the British charge out of the men’s swim and went on to have one of his best bike rides ever, but a foot injury halted his progress after that. Matt Sharp had an excellent run but an infringement on the bike mount line meant he got a fifteen second penalty.
Sharp went on to win the race with Mark Buckingham, Adam Bowden and Grant Sheldon the next finishers behind him. However, an infringement during the swim cost Sharp the win as he was disqualified.
With Rio places on the line, the disqualification hands the selection to Bowden rather than Sharp, with confirmation to come at the end of the week.
British Triathlon Performance Director, Brendan Purcell, said: “The swim conditions had a big influence on the women’s result. India Lee came through and showed how strong she was on the bike and run in particular.
“The men’s race was very interesting. Tom Bishop was exceptional but then the rest of the field took over on the run. Getting the first four across the finishing line was very good, but Matt Sharp was obviously very disappointed.”
He added: “Rio selections will be made by a panel at the end of the week. India Lee, Mark Buckingham and Adam Bowden have all met the policy.”
