Tomos Hales took the win in Round 3 of The Decathlon Evening 10 series by Wrekinsport – despite the weight of the London Marathon being in his legs. Hales was 49 seconds down on his Round 2 effort with a creditable 22 minutes 30 seconds, a factor of that huge run sapping his strength and noticeably less windier conditions than the week before, even though the wind was still in the best direction for the Shawbirch - Cotwall Bank circuit, an easterly. Hales extended his Series lead to a commanding seven points as he sets out a strong defence of his title.

Hales margin of victory was a comfortable 1:15 over Alex Hall, improving by 31 seconds to take the runner-up spot in 23:45, with club Junior Ben Southgate rounding out the podium positions in 24 minutes exactly.   

Elliott Wills also looked to take maximum points in the Road Bike Series – but it was a close call. Wills improved by 41 seconds to stop the watch in 27:56, just seven seconds ahead of a first ever appearance for Dave Seager, setting an impressive time of 28:03.
