The South East Team

The Event

The event was created to give a chance for the top young triathletes from each region to compete at this iconic venue. It was however much more than a race:

- it gave opportunity for the young athetes to represent their region, providing a valuable step towards IRC selection

- built relationships within each regional team, and also between the regions

- provided a post-season training objective

The top 40 young triathletes from T1, T2 & T3 of each region were invited by the Team Managers Dean Painter (South East) and Sheila Horsman (London).

Races were over the following distances:

T1: 600m run / 3k bike / 600m run

T2: 1.2k run / 5k bike / 600m run

T3: 1.6k run / 8k bike / 600m run

All the races were contested with great spirit and ethusiasm with close racing throughout the field, providing a truely memorable occasion for all involved.

The intention is that thus becomes a regular fixture between the regions - more news on this to follow.
