20 May 2025 - By Anita Grainger

The triathlon season has got underway over the last 2 weekends with WRC members.
Heydon Mizon took part in the Burghley Multisport weekend on 11th May where the British and English national championships for standard distance triathlon (1500m swim/40km bike/10km run) and aquabike (1500m swim/40km bike) were taking place. Heydon had a great swim clocking 30.16 for 1500m then unfortunately had a puncture so couldn’t continue which is a shame.

The following weekend the Stuckeys headed off to Hanningfield to take part in the sprint triathlon ( 750m swim/24km bike/5km run) . Unfortunately Alex had a puncture on the bike leg so had to pull out . Liz had a good race despite a cold and choppy swim and off road run, winning her age group. Fabulous, well done Liz!

Anita had a decent race with a few fisty cuffs in the swim, a windy bike with full on headwind in one direction and found the final run lap tough in the heat.
