Steyning Triathlon ( in the snow)

Mon, 07 Apr 2008 00:00:00 GMT

Steyning triathlon was to be the first triathlon of the season for a few club members.

In the end Greg Cahill and Tracey Fuller were the only ones who braved the conditions.

Unfortunately the sprint race which tracey was competing in (her very first triathlon) was cancelled during her bike leg due to heavy snow. I heard Tracey had a couple of falls on the bike due to the conditions so we hope you are not hurt and looking forward to your next warmer triathlon!

Greg C, managed to finish the long course distance in a time of 2:00;42 and placing a solid 13th overall. Well done Greg, hopefully you have warmed up now.
