There was a record entry of 39 teams from all over the country at the Area 5 Triathlon Qualifier March 13th.

Qualifiers go forward to the Winter Triathlon Championships to be held in Grantham, Melton Mowbray March 26th.

Once again, FLINT and DENBIGH Tetrathletes were supreme and WON the team event.  The team was Constance, Helen, Orla and Leah.  They beat 2nd placed team by 130 points so it was quite close.  Individually, Orla was 2nd in the Junior girls with the top run, Constance was 3rd with a 900 shoot and an amazing swim,  Helen won a very strong Mini Girls Class with a 960 top shoot and excellent swim. Leah also had 960 shoot  and top swim. There were only 4 competitors who achieved a 960 shoot on the day and Flint and Denbigh had 2 of them !

Imogen came 5th in Senior Girls but had trouble with her gun so did not shoot at her best.

Flint and Denbigh had 3 other teams competing – they came 21st (Lleucu, Macsen and Eos Newton) and 22nd (Megan, Imogen, Casper and Catrin.  Megan and Catrin swam brilliantly and Casper had top run. The other FnD team was Anni, Alys and Nansi – probably the youngest team there!

Congratulations to the Qualifiers – Orla, Leah, Imogen, Helen and Constance.  Good Luck at the Champs.  Have fun.
