Area 5 Winter Triathlon 3 – Ellesmere Port – Results

Yet another great day for Flint & Denbigh at the last of the Triathlons organised by the Area 5 Tetrathlon Committee. Entries were high (140+) 29 of which were F&D Branch. The venue was the excellent Ellesmere Port Leisure Centre.

There were 30 teams forward. A very young Flint & Denbigh Team F came a creditable 4th (Megan and Alys Evans, Zoe James and Catrin Morgan) and Team C came 7th (Orla and Casper Kissane, Joseff James and Finlay Eastwood).

This time there was a Beanie Team competition – Team A came 2nd (Ifan Johnson, Ioan James, Anni Edwards and Harri Morgan) and team B came 3rd (Esmay Eastwood, Halle Rosser and Polly Lowe).

There was a record entry in the Wrinklie class (14) and this was won by Gareth Lowe – an ex Tetrathlete who was a member of an F&D team of 3 boys in the early 90s who WON the Championships, so he has not gone to seed – yet!  2nd place (only one point in it) Wrinklie was Phil Eastwood F&D in his first competition and after just one shooting lesson he shot 980!

Individual achievements were many and pretty amazing:

  • Orla Kissane WON the strong Senior Girls class with top swim
  • Megan Evans WON the 10 strong Mini Girls class with the top shoot of 940
  • Finlay Eastwood was 3rd in the Beanie Boys
  • Anni Edwards was 2nd in the Beanie Girls
  • Hugo Mayne WON the Beanie Biathlon Boys class
