The last two weeks of July have seen a busy race schedule for the town’s Triathlon Club with both experienced and beginners racing at various events across the country.
Cleveland Steelman took place on Saturday 19th July starting at Ellerton Lake. The half iron distance event saw three members taking part in relay teams. Vicky Howse who swam and cycled, Michelle Scott who ran and Andy Sedgwick cycling were all part of two of the top placed teams.
On Wednesday 23rd Gary Smith entered into the Army Standard Distance Triathlon, South Cerney in the Cotswolds where he finished in a fantastic time of 2hr 26min.
On the same day Penny Johnson and Michelle Dixon made their triathlon debut’s taking part in Triology Events Super Sprint. Both ladies were nervous going into the open water swim but soon relaxed and went on to finish in excellent times of 1hr 2mins each. Both Penny and Michelle are planning entering many more triathlons in the future.
