Tri-Anglia Tristar Race Report

Rob McLean Junior Triathlon - July 4th
After 11 weeks of training, 18 members of the Tri-Anglia junior section entered their first triathlon at the Rob McLean Junior Tri run by the Cambridge Triathlon Club. With 9 boys and 9 girls, the club was represented in all Tristar age groups.

Good performances were put in by all athletes with top 10 finishes by Hannah Edwards (7th) in the age 8 group, Anna Wasden (10th) in the 11/12 age group and Josh Page (8th) in the 11/12 age group.

A number of athletes put in particularly good swim and run performances with Josh Page and Matthew Baker posting 3rd and 4th fastest swim times for their age groups and Josh page and Rebecca Howitt posting 2nd and 4th fastest run times for their age groups.

A good team spirit was evident on the day with all athletes in the club providing significant vocal support and encouragement to other team members during their races backed up by positive support from parents.

Despite some anxiety at the start, from both athletes and parents, at not knowing what to expect from a triathlon everyone gave their very best and went away having enjoyed the day.
