Will was pipped into second place by a couple of seconds in the final sprint for the British Duathlon Championships held on Sunday (April 26th) in Loughborough.

"There was some close racing in the Junior age groups, with Jonathan Brownlee and Sophie Coleman claiming the wins, and in the youths Henry Jarvis won the boys race in a close sprint finish with Will Johnston. Maddy Winzer won the youth girls race by an impressive margin."

Will is multi talented young sportsman as you would expect of a triathlete but his effort is not only restricted to the usual training schedule. A member of the Triathlon Scotland Development squad means a heavy schedule including a dozen hours in the pool as well as running and strength/conditioning work. He started his year with a succesful 5th overall in the ERC Winter Duathlon Series, seniors included. His bike skills have been honed in sessions at the Newport Indoor Track in Wales and he has taken part in the Ingliston Crit series together with his younger sister Kate.

At 15 he has plenty of time to develope and the Kirky testers had better watch out as he intends to have a go at you too next.

Congratulations Will, a fine start to the season.
