British Club Relay Triathlon Championships


Last weekend I took part in the British club relay Triathlon championships. The LINEBREAK team consisted of Mark Sykes, Katie Silke, Samantha Anderson and myself, and we races in this order. The distances were 500m swim - 15km bike - 5km Run. The format is very particular, each member has got to do each discipline first before proceeding to the next. This was a big race for us as it was very important to perform at our best for our sponsor who supported us during this year.
We all had a great performance. I was particulary pleased with my swim and bike, a little bit less with my running since my back decided to go in spasm after 2k but this did not stop me from pushing till the line. In the end we managed to place 10th overall out of 15o teams. It was great fun racing in that atmosphere!
A big thank-you goes to our sponsor LINEBREAK, team manager Bill Livingstone and official photographer Pam Batchelor. Also a big well done goes to my team mates who really gave their best on the day.
