A strong contingent of 19 Tritons turned out at Eastbourne for our annual Standard Distance Championships on Sunday, 8th June 2025.
Following a dreary Saturday, race day delivered much-improved conditions with plenty of sunshine, and the sea proved far less chilly than expected. After successfully navigating the currents, we took on the slightly altered bike course—challenging as ever, with the climb up to Beachy Head remaining a formidable test. The run route, which included a section of the promenade, provided a scenic conclusion to a very well organised event.
Several standout performances deserve recognition. Keith, our chair and club captain, secured victory in his age category with a stellar time of 02:52:17. Simon Burbidge led our men’s field with an impressive 02:29:20, while Kate Fry was our fastest female, finishing in a superb 02:52:04. Congratulations also to Clinton Lowe for finishing second in the Sprint Aquathlon and to Digby Spencer-Lewis for finishing fourth overall and first in his age group category in the Standard Distance Aquathlon.
Well done to everyone who took part! Full results here.
Our next Club Club Championships is at the Ocean Sprint Triathlon Leybourne Lakes, Kent on Sunday 27th July.
