Eight club juniors participated in the East Essex Kids Triathlon at Basildon Sporting Village on Saturday. Fortunately the forecasted deluge cleared early to make for a fine afternoon.

Jennifer Adam and Annalise Verzijl performed well in the Tristar 2 race (age 11 - 12) with Jennifer finishing 20th girl and Annalise 23rd girl. A sparkling first on the bike helped Charlie Knowler to finish 2nd boy and 2nd overall in a hotly contested Tristar 1 race (age 9 -10). Stu Adam, Tommy Verzijl and Jacob Taylor all put up super performances moving up to Tristar 1 this year, with Stu finishing 9th boy, Tommy 17th boy and Jacob, taking part in his first event, 31st boy. Hugo Thorneley and Thomas Curtis, also Tristar 1, both did well in their first triathlon, with Hugo overcoming bike racking problems to finish 21st boy and Thomas 24th boy.

Well done everyone!
