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.
