Results, Humble and Rowe take glory!! - 03/07/08
The inaugural Legacy Events elite eliminators were won by Daniel humble of Portreath and Sara Rowe from St Ives. Both athletes dominated their field in the final leading right from the whistle. Whilst Rowe was never challenged and pulled further away from the field in the board and swim legs, Humble was swimming knowing that he had been caught in the previous 2 ranking races on the swim leg. This time however, Garod Thomas's efforts to swim the Aussie down were in vain, as Humble held on and powered up the beach to take the honours and prize money. When interviewed on Sky news all he could muster was "...it was hard, it was hard".Elite Men

FORM GUIDE - 15/06/08
The 3rd round of the GB rankings at Saunton Sands beach produced a real indication of the form for next week's main event.Jimmy Dallyn(Saunton) and Sara Rowe (St Ives)were victorious and both produced performances that indicate they cannot be overlooked next week in the grueling eliminator.
Dallyn enterred the final Swim leg about 40metres behind leader and team mate Gary Sinkavicious and Pen-y-Bont youngster Lewis Rosewell, but swam convincingly to take out the race.
Rowe on the other hand led from 'gun to tape' and was never really challenged after the board leg.
Who will take the prize money next week? That is the question.

Thorn ruled out through injury! - 06/06/08
Britain's best ironman Nick thorn has been ruled out of the Goldcoast Legacy Events Iron man classic this year due to a knee injury sustained in training last week.Thorn who was unbeaten on British soil for 12 years was the pre race favourite as training had been going better than in previous years. "I am fitter and definitely a few pounds lighter" the Woolacombe based athlete said. "It's a great disappointment to me as this was to be my last year at this level of competition".
Thorn now thinks Garod Thomas to be the pre race favourite, as the welsh champion has been steadily improving and did secure a rare victory in last years national championships at St Ives.
The event scheduled for Saturday 21st June at Croyde will be taking place around the low tide, and if there is a good surf running , the conditions will certainly sort the men out from the boys.
