20th April 2025 - The Tri Season commences with some great results & Zurich Marathon PB

Last weekend saw the start of the tri season with Barry racing at Kendal Tri and Chris and Coach Pat racing at the West Lancs Spring Tri.

In his run up to Ironman Texas, Barry was not so convinced by racing a sprint tri a few weeks out from his big race, but some encouraging words from coach Pat with some mention of transition practice and sharpening up, Barry got himself on the start line.

Not only did Barry sharpen himself up, he managed to win his age group and come 45th overall. Great result.

Next up was Chris and Coach Pat who were both racing at the West Lancashire Spring Triathlon. Chris who's on the come back from injury had a solid race finishing 170th overall out of 470 and coming 28th in his age group. Coach Pat had a solid race as well finishing 30th overall and 4th in his age group. There were some very speedy people racing, but great results all round.

And we have to mention Sam who was running his first stand alone marathon in Zurich. Not only did Sam managed to crack the 3 hour barrier, he went on to finish in a very impressive 2 hours 48 minutes - awesome work Sam!
