Report – Triathlon – Mold – March  9th

Flint and Denbigh Branch had 26 members forward for the last of the 3 Area 5 Triathlons in Mold March 9th – that’s if we include our brave parent Gareth Lowe who had entered the Wrinklie class ! Eleven were Beanies (don’t shoot) and they were in Beanie teams which have to compete against the older teams which is unfair in my opinion but may change in the future.

This competition was an individual qualifier for the Winter Triathlon Championships to be held in Grantham May 30th and a number of FnD’s did qualify – hence the red bobble hats in the pictures – although not all wore them!

The competition was fierce and closely contested.

• Orla Kissane Qualified and came 2nd in the Senior Girls (Top run)
• Casper Kissane Qualified and came 5th Junior Boys.
• Zoe James Qualified and came 3rd in a huge class of Minis.
• Catrin Morgan came 7th and missed qualifying by just 13 points.
• Alys and Megan Evans came 2nd and 4th in the Tadpole Girls.
• Anni Morgan came 2nd in the Beanie Girls.

We wish them the best of luck at the Championships in Grantham.

We had 2 shooting teams one of which came 4th – out of 25 teams. The team was Megan, Casper, Catrin and Zoe. As can be seen from the pictures, I think everyone came home with either a rosette or a medal.

Trophies were also awarded for the highest placed competitor in each class who had competed in all 3 Triathlons.  Flint and Denbigh achieved 6 out of a possible 12 trophies!  Winners were Orla Kissane, Zoe James,  Megan Evans, Finlay Eastwood, Tomos Bowen and Nansi Evans.

Simply brilliant.  Well done all!
