On Sunday 24th March, 286 competitors took part in the Winter Triathlon Championships! There cannot have been many hotel rooms available in Grantham, as they were all filled with competitors and their families.<\/p>\n

Area 5 had 32 competitors taking part which was more that any other Area in the country.
\nTwelve achieved a place at the Area 5 qualifying competition – 4 Minimus, 4 Juniors and 4 Seniors. The other twenty travelled the length and breadth of the country, trying to secure a place to the Championship. This is not easy, as to qualify out of your area you have to achieve either first or second place in your class. Some competitors were not successful on their first attempt but persevered and managed to qualify at another Areas event.<\/p>\n

The Area 5 Minimus team came in 1st place!<\/p>\n
