Packwood Haugh School Triathlon

Six young Flint and Denbigh members travelled down to Packwood Haugh School Triathlon near Shrewsbury which was aimed at younger members.

Although it was a wet start, it finished with the run in lovely sunshine. It was a very welcoming event with everyone involved more than happy to help.

  • Elin Jones WON the Mini class, with the best shoot.
  • Gweni Jones finished 2nd in her class with 2nd best shoot and an improved run time
  • Magi Jones missed out on a rosette but did a great run
  • Finlay Eastwood WON the Tiddlers class with the fastest run, joint best bean bag and 2nd in the swim.
  • Esmay Eastwood was thrilled with her pink rosette and was amazing in the swim for her size and age. Many little ones were having melt downs but Esmay was a trooper.

The venue was excellent and each competitor left with sweets and a cap so all were happy!
