Well done to all 23 members who competed so successfully at Chelmsford. Conditions were tough with a testing bike course and windy conditions, but they all enjoyed running on the tartan track at the end! We had great support for each other and there was no bigger cheer than when George Peasgood sprinted across the line at the end the morning.

Helene Dyce in the Tristar 1 category was closest to a win, losing in a sprint finish, but only because she had to avoid a bollard 10 meters from the line. Alex Dale, who finished second would surely have won the Tristart boys category had he been able to get his shoes on more quickly and Sophie Jones (3rd) would probably have won the Youth girls category had it not been for gear problems on the bike. She his blaming her bike mechanic!

Other highlights were Taylor Alexander 6th (Tristar1), Leon Bozianu 8th (Tristar2), Jemima Wightman 7th (Tristar2), Alex Howlett 10th (Tristar3), Anna Eden 10th (Tristar3) and Luke Dianna (Youth).

There were quite a few lesson learnt on the day, the main one being the need to practice putting shoes on with wet feet! Parents discovered the need to take plenty of refreshments, something to read and some chairs to sit on!
