North Shropshire Triathlon Wrekin College

26th October

On the first Sunday of half term a crowd of our younger FnD tetrathletes traveled to North Shropshire to compete at their triathlon at Wrekin College. It was a beautiful location with wonderful facilities for shooting, running and swimming.

Our members did their very best and came away with some great results including lots of personal bests.

This is a lovely friendly competition. All competitors in the younger classes were given an award at the prizegiving regardless of placing to recognise their effort. The Tiddler classes also give the younger members an opportunity to compete at a full triathlon as they are allowed to swim widths in the shallow end and use swimming aids if needed.

Out of 28 teams our FnD Daffodils team (Zoe, Catrin, Alys and Megan) were first, and Fnd Dragons (Joseff, Ioan, Finley and Anni) were 7th.

Individual results:

• Mini girls: Zoe 1st with Best Run, Catrin 2nd with best shoot and best swim.
• Tadpole boys: Joseff 2nd with best swim.
• Tadpole girls: Megan 1st with best shoot, swim and run. Also achieved spectacular 1000 in the shoot, Alys 2nd.
• Beanie boys: Finley 1st with best throw and swim and joint best run, Ioan 3rd with joint best run.
• Beanie girls: Anni best run
• Tiddler boys 6 yo Harri 3rd, Hugo 5th
