Sunday 1st June saw a record 279 triathletes compete in Greenwich Triton’s annual Junior Aquathlon. Forming part of the London Junior Series, the event took place at Colfe’s School, Lee.
The competition and temperatures heated up as the day went on with some hugely impressive times and sprint finishes. All junior age groups from Tristart age 8 (50m swim, 500m run) all the way through to Junior 17-19 (400m swim, 4,000m run) were represented.
The event is always popular with junior triathletes and is known for its supportive and inclusive atmosphere. Parents had plenty to keep them happy too with a brilliant BBQ and bake sale, raising funds to help the club continue to provide a great value training and coaching offer to members.
Congratulations to all who took part; we hope to see you again next year! Thanks to all the volunteers for their help in making the event happen and to Colfe’s School for use of their facilities.
Finally, the club wishes to express its sincere gratitude to Howard Kee who organised his last event after four years as race director.
