BETH POTTER WINS PARIS 2024 TEST EVENT – The following was reported on the BBC sport website.
BETH POTTER out-sprinted home favourite CASSANDRE BEAUGRAND to secure victory in the Paris 2024 triathlon test event. It was the Scot’s first-ever win in an Olympic-distance race. It leaves the 31-year-old top of the standings before October’s World Triathlon Championship Series Finals in Spain.
The swim leg of the event took place in the River Seine after it passed water quality tests. Earlier this month, World Aquatics cancelled the Open Water Swimming World Cup in the river after it was ruled to be “below acceptable standards.” POTTER and BEAUGRAND broke clear with about 5km to go in the run before POTTER made her decisive move on the last corner to finish six seconds ahead of her rival in one hour 51 minutes and 40 seconds, with German LAURA LINDEMANN in third a further three seconds behind.
“I was just trying to run fast at the end. I’m glad I had something left in the tank to be honest,” said POTTER, who ran the 10,0000m on the track at the 2016 Olympics. “I was biding my time and I had in my head I was going to wait until the last moment. I enjoyed every moment of it. This was my main goal for the season and I ticked it off, so I’m super happy.”
1st BETH POTTER (1:51.40) – Swim 5000m (20.17) – Transition 1 (.51) – Bike 40km (57.07) – Transition 2 (.29) – Run 10km (32.57)
2nd CASSANDRE BEAUGRAND (1:51.46) – Swim 5000m (19.52) – Transition 1 (.56) – Bike 40km (57.25) – Transition 2 (.27) – Run 10km (33.07)
3rd LAURA LINDEMANN (1:51.59) – Swim 5000m (19.57) – Transition 1 (.58) – Bike 40km (57.18) – Transition 2 (.29) – Run 10km (33.18)

CURRENT DISTRIBUTION OF SHAFTESBURY INFORMATION – Currently I notify members (by email) using “MailChimp”. The reason I changed, was in November 2017 “Gmail” put a limit of 100 addresses that users could send to in a 24-hour period, and currently I send to approximately 850 members each issue.
On seeking technical advice “MailChimp” was recommended as the best way for SBH to go forward. There is one thing you should be aware off is that when you receive an email from me, the footer at the bottom has 4 options, of which one is “Unsubscribe Me From List”. Could I ask you not to select this as if you do you will be automatically removed from my distribution list.
