Oswestry Duathlon
4th May - this has to be one of the most gruelling courses
that any of the Juniors could do on the circuit - it was uphill,
it was very, very tough. The distance for T2 was -
1600 run, 3200 bike and the 800m run. Only 3 members made the
trip, George Goodwin - T2; Sam Hambridge - T3; Fleur O Dwyer -
T3. George came 2nd, Sam came 6th and Fleur 5th. Congratulations

Junior Section End of Season
Social. On the 15th
of December the junior section of the triathlon club had their
first social event. They went down to the Big Apple at Junction
1 retail park for two classic games of bowling and some food. It
was a popular event as forty-one people attended covering six
lanes in total. Each lane consisted of mixed abilities with
triathlon members and their families enjoying the games of
bowling. Everyone had lots of fun and they definitely want to
have another outing in the near future. At the end of the games,
the results showed that the total points scorer for the children
was Josh Aldous with 227 points and Rob Lowe, 266 points, being
the top scorer for the adults. Ian managed to take pictures of
everyone in each lane and overall the junior section of the club
had a brilliant afternoon out! (Steph Collins) |
