Junior Triathletes & Parents duathlon

PostDateIconFriday, 13 July 2012 11:31 | Print E-mail

A great evenings training/racing yesterday involving 9 junior triathletes and 3 parents taking part in an off road duathlon. The run/bike/run event consisted of distances varying from 350m/600m/350m for the under 8s; 1050m/1800m/350m for the under 10s; 1400m/2400m/700m for the under 12s; and 1750m/3000m/700m for the over 12s (including parents). If that wasn't enough effort for one day all athletes teamed up afterwards for a pairs relay race of 350m/600m/350m.

The results for the evening as follows:-

U8's - 1st Stuart Adam, followed by Thomas Verzijl

U10's - 1st Jennifer Adam, followed only 9 seconds behind by Annalise Verzijl, followed by Kathleen Adam and George Cain

U12's - 1st (and last) place was Johan Hasselder

O12's - 1st place, a mere 7 seconds in front of his father, Mark, was Myles Taylor, with mother and daughter, Petra and Orla Jewby in 3rd and 4th place.

The Pairs Relay was a great race with lots of overtaking and switching of positions from start to finish, ultimately being won by Annalise Verzijl and Johan Hasselder.

A fun and exhilerating evening finished off with a celebratory BBQ (better than medals!). Also many thanks to our marshalls who helped out:- Sarah Verzijl, Teresa Adam and Justin Cain.

 

Junior Triathlon League gets underway

PostDateIconMonday, 16 April 2012 10:02 | Print E-mail

Saturday saw the start of the 2012 Eastern Region Junior Triathlon League with the Basildon Aquathlon. WSW & Tri junior Niamh Perry was in her first ever race against a competitive field of far more experienced triathletes. Perry was the only Wheelers athlete taking part, but did herself and the Club proud finishing in 5th place out of a total of 17 girls in her age group. A fantastic performance, especially so considering it was her maiden outing in multisport racing.

Next week Johan Hasselder will be competing in the Tri-Sport Epping Aquathlon, but the junior tri season really gets underway on 20th May with the St Felix Junior Triathlon in Southwold. WSW & Tri Club will have NINE junior athletes competing then with representation across every age group.
