3rd place in National 100

Tejvan Pettinger of Sri Chinmoy Cycling Team finished 3rd in the UK national 100 mile time trial championship. He completed the 100 miles in 3.51 - behind winner Charles Taylor of South Pennine CC and Adam Topham (High Wycombe CC) in 2nd.

The National championships were held on undulating rural roads in Norfolk. Tejvan went through 50 miles in 1.51.55. But, struggled in the last 30 miles, running out of power. He also punctured with 5 miles to go, making it a slow finish on a deflating front tub. However, Tejvan just managed to hang onto 3rd place, 20 seconds ahead of Michael Broadwidth (Arctic Shorter Rochford).

Tejvan said of the race:

"I was pleased to get a medal, as I've been targetting the 100 mile championship this year. It's not my forte because it's mostly flat, but I've enjoyed doing 100 mile races this year. However, this race was the toughest 100 mile race of the year, I was really shattered at the finish."

Tejvan has had a good season so far this year, finishing 4th in the national 50 mile TT and setting a new pb of 3.34.17 at 100 miles.
