DURSLEY runner Garry Hughes showed that the training regime that had blunted his speed in his victory at the Berkeley 10k was time well spent.

Competing for Tri-Team-Gloucester in the Db Max 9Bar Standard Triathlon, held in Bradford-on-Avon, he finished first overall.

Beaten to the fastest time by a matter of seconds on both the swim and on the bike, once he was on his feet Hughes was unstoppable, finishing one minute and 36 seconds ahead of the next fastest runner and three minutes ahead of the second placed competitor.

Result: Garry Hughes – Swim 15:25 (2nd), T1 01:58, Bike 01:01:21 (2nd), T2 00:35, Run 32:46 (1st), Overall 01:52:07 (1st).
