&lt;p&gt;On Saturday there were plenty of LBTs on the start line at Clumber Park for either the Classic or Sprint duathlon.&amp;nbsp; First home for LBT in the Classic was Richard Hamilton in 27th place, just five seconds ahead of Brian Field.&amp;nbsp; Richard had the fifth fastest bike split in a strong field and was faster than the overall winner.&amp;nbsp; Donna Edmondson-Booker finished third in the F35-39 category.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Sprint race, Brian Howarth bravely took on Will Clarke, no less, and finished 8th overall.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://www.lbt.org.uk/default.aspx?section=News&amp;NewsItem=Early 2008 Results</link><pubDate>11-Mar-2008 10:02:47</pubDate></item><item><title>April 2008 Results</title><description>&lt;h2&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;LBT Duathlon Championship &lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The LBT duathlon championship for 2008 was held as part of Stokesley Duathlon and the gold/silver/bronze went to: &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;uL&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Ben Garrard 1’42’55” 
&lt;li&gt;Jamie Hutchinson 1’46’00” 
&lt;li&gt;Jonathan McVicar 1’47’48” &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/uL&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;uL&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Donna Edmondson-Booker 1’50’23” 
&lt;li&gt;Helen Turton 1’56’48” 
&lt;li&gt;Caroline Bell 2’03’12” &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/uL&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;National Duathlon Champs&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Richard Findlow finished 12th at the national duathlon champs, with Richard Hamilton also featuring strongly. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;London Marathon&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Six LBTs (at least) were at the London Marathon, led home by Tom Williams in 2’49’57”. Mark Hutcheson finished in 3’00’25”, no doubt cursing the wind and rain in the late stages. Helen Turton finished just outside 3’20 and was faster than quite a few in the ladies elite race. Ian Kitching ran 3’21 and Heidi Davys 3’47, beating her PB by about half an hour. Hazel Adams completed her first marathon in 4’44. &lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://www.lbt.org.uk/default.aspx?section=News&amp;NewsItem=April 2008 Results</link><pubDate>18-Apr-2008 10:22:22</pubDate></item><item><title>Open Water Swimming 2008</title><description>&lt;p&gt;OWS will be starting in May.

&lt;p&gt;Otley Sailing Club has made a number of improvements to the clubhouse, including more shower facilities, so you will hopefully appreciate better facilities this year. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We aim to make the sessions as safe and enjoyable as possible and we will need you to volunteer to do duty in the rescue boats from time to time.
