13 Golds, 6 Silver, 5 Bronze medals. Wow!

Josh Harrison and Theo Skirvin. Young triathletes Theo Skirvin and Josh Harrison, who were both competing in Leeds at the weekend, see reports below. Someone commented last week that triathlon articles very rarely feature in the newsletter. There's a very good reason for this - articles are very rarely submitted and reporting about triathlon events is way above my pay grade. It's been another busy week and many thanks to those of you who have submitted items for inclusion in this newsletter. It was a bumper weekend with The Hilly 100, Tysoe Windmill Run and the Midland Masters T&F championships. We have a superb report on the Hilly 100 from Stuart George. Very many thanks Stuart. In the Midland Masters Championship our 9 vets had a truly magical day, winning 24 medals in all, including 13 golds, 6 silvers and 5 bronze. Also, we had Josh Harrison and Theo Skirvin, a couple of our super talented young triathletes competing in Leeds at the weekend. I understand that Rachel Pearce qualified for the 2022 World Triathlon Championships in Montreal at the qualifying race at Eton Dorney. Well done Rachel.

The 9 athletes from the club picked up a scarcely believable 24 medals in total, including 13 golds, 6 silvers and 5 bronze. After a difficult 18 months, the emphasis was on enjoying getting back into competition, while accepting that performance standards might have slipped a bit. Christine and Peter Coote made a welcome return to the track, with Christine winning gold…
