Hi All,
What a
fantastic event the annual Off Road Triathlon is! This year was no
exception with a full field participating, fast and furious (and muddy) racing
and everyone asking for more at the finish!!
A big thank
you to volunteer RD Emma Winterflood and all those who assisted to put this
event on for our members. We really appreciate you giving up your time to make
our club such a successful one.
For our
next event we ditch the bike, so the run/ride lovers will come out of the
blocks for the Hidden Valley duathlon. The timing of our duathlons this
year were very dependent on Hidden Valley availability.
