Tri-force Juniors Duathlon September 2017

On Sunday 10th September, Tri-Force held a duathlon race at Sandringham School as work was still ongoing on the pool.  In total, we had 29 taking part, ranging from complete beginners through to experienced competitors.

While the club captains were not taking part, they were on hand to lend some advise to the less experienced competitors.

Stephen gave a race briefing about the course and reminded everyone about the number of laps required. Clearly everyone listened as no one miscounted any laps.

The race distances were as follows:
Tristar Start: Run 400m, Bike 800m, Run 200m
Tristar 1: Run 1.2k, Bike 2.4k, Run 400m
Tristar 2: Run 1.6k, Bike 4k, Run 800m
Tristar 3 & Youth: Run 2k, Bike 5.6k, Run 800m

While the weather stayed dry, the wind was quite strong at times and led to a challenging bike course. However, this didn’t seem to bother the children as we saw some sprint finishes to the end. Perhaps the cake stall proved to be the incentive that everyone needed.
