\u2744\ufe0f FPC Winter Triathlon \u2013 Competition Summary<\/div>\n
It was an early start for the FPC team as we took on hosting duties for the shoot phase of the Winter Triathlon. A huge thank\u2011you to every volunteer who helped the day run as smoothly as possible \u2013 even with a few unexpected curve balls thrown our way.<\/div>\n
We had an impressive 18 FPC athletes competing, including a couple of first\u2011timers \u2013 a warm welcome to all. The first discipline was the shoot, but the second discipline – the run had to endure the weather, as athletes battled mud, rain and relentless wind. Conditions were truly bleak, yet spirits stayed high. The final phase, the swim, brought its own drama with a mid\u2011event evacuation due to a fire alarm. Thank you to Paul D for helping the Tring Sports Centre team manage the situation swiftly and calmly.<\/div>\n

\ud83c\udf89 A Fantastic Day for FPC<\/div>\n
