The total number of junior triathletes who have competed in official league races now stands at an amazing 13 athletes this season. Framlingham College was the venue for Sundays activities where seasoned triathletes Alice Maguire and Johan Hasselder were joined by first time trio Orla Jewby, Matthew and Sam Asker.

Consistent swim training paid off massively with all three novices posting personal best times in the pool. Even Hasselder knocked off 11 seconds from his 200m PB, but that was small change compared to the 20, 25, and 90 seconds improvements for Asker (S), Jewby and Asker (M) respectively.

Sam Asker went on to post one of the fastest bike splits for his age group, whilst Hasselder had a mechanical failure on the bike which put paid to his competitiveness for the day. Jewby and Asker (M) put in solid performances on the bike but both suffered on the run, where the hill and the warmer temperatures both took their toll.

Following a good swim, Maguire had a really strong bike ride with the second fastest time of the day, but her exertions on the bike led to her struggling to find her speed on the run, ultimately finishing in a very creditable 5th place overall.
