Triathlon

The Flint and Denbigh kids definitely showed they are resilient, strong and can persevere. What a tough run for them in snow, ice and water. Fantastic!!

Once again, Meg’s Tetters  achieved great things at the Qualifying Triathlon in Mold March 12th hosted by the Area 5 Tet Committee. We had 14 members competing in the Triathlon and 4 in the Biathlon.

Although it was not a cold day, the runners had a tough time coping with the mud and snow on the fields. Consequently, run times were down.

One of the Flint & Denbigh teams came 2nd beating the 3rd placed East Cheshire Team by just 69 points. Every second running and every metre swimming is important. This 2nd placed team was Orla Kissane, Lleucu Newton, Ella North and Harriet Goodall.

Individual achievements  were:

  • Orla won the Junior Girls  with the top run.
  • Harriet 6th in the Jun Girls with an amazing top swim of 9 lengths in 3 minutes!
  • Helen shot an excellent 920 in the Junior Girls.
  • Ella did very well to come 2nd in the Mini Girls with a top shoot of 920 beating the 3rd placed person by just 39 points overall.
  • Seren was 4th in the Tadpole Girls and Catrin 6th in a strong class.
  • Eos won the Beanie  Girls, Megan was 3rd and Alys was 4th.

Ella, Orla and Leah qualified to go to the Triathlon Championships in Stoke on the 26th. We hope they have a great time there representing Flint & Denbigh.
