A couple of potential wet events have been completed whilst the results guy has been forced to visit the home Richard Carapaz.

We got properly drenched with a 400m swim, with Vince Hounsome showing he’s the club’s dolphin (but Michael S was still third).

Then back to the bike for a climbing challenge. Michael Sleeman fitted 11,800m of climbing into a well-timed week of riding in Mallorca. Jon Rich (probably) had less fun avoiding the Dorset/Wiltshire rain climbing 6,500m on Zwift. Dave Hayter managed his highest weekly position so far with a nasty outdoors ride.

So, Michael looks home and hosed. Vince and Jon are separated by 1 point, although Innes Wright still holds hope that that he has a hint of a chance of making the podium with a couple of runs still to come. Dave Hayter is up to 6th.

Between 16 February and 1 March the challenge is to run and/or walk 10k.

Results (and schedule) can be found on the GDW Winter Challenge results 2025-26.
