TT Result: GHS Final - Good performance by Daniel Murphy

UPDATED link to photo

Daniel Murphy was the 3rd fastest 15 year old at the recent GHS Final and was 13th overall - a fine achievement.

Daniel rode the GHS final last weekend (12th Sept) over 10 miles on the K34/10D course. This is regarded as the top '10' for 12-16 year olds in Britain. Qualification is via heats for each  of the CTT regions.
 
Of 160 qualifiers, only 130 made the start line of which Daniel finished 13th in 22:56. However he was 3rd of the 15 year olds (the other 2 youths went to the recent youth Olympics in Finland), so Daniel has great prospects for next years final.

The winners time was 21:37. Daniel reached the halfway mark in 10:51 on the rolling course but the wind and tougher return leg slowed everyone down on the way home.
