April Aquathon at Le Meridien Mina Seyahi with Club Mina a big success
We did it again! Our April Aquathon that took place on Friday 20th of April where our participants started their 800 Meter swim at 7:00 early in the morning followed by a 5 kilometer run. Well done to all who took part in our last big event of the season.
Temperatures soared as did the competition though it was a runaway victory for the overall champion Jason Metters. The remaining top Male and Female places were fiercely contested, especially amongst the ‘veteran’ (in age only!) guys (Noel Kirkaldy and Garry Kershaw) proving that youth doesn’t always come out on top! So there’s hope for us all yet J
But it’s not only about the Winners , it’s also about personal goals and achievements however ambitious or humble they may be.
Many people improved their race performances by up to 3 mins compared to October’s Aquathon and in one case, 7 mins (Dave) And also well done all you newcomers!
The main season is over and the weather is heating up but that is no excuse to put tri related matters on hold until the cooler months as it is now the Second Season of Summer Sizzlers!!! For those of you unfamiliar with the “Sizzler” concept, it is basically a summer series of Aquathons where the focus is on staying fit, gaining experience, introducing new people to the sport, and being social! You can either race the whole course and be timed, or just do as many/few laps of the course as you are comfortable with no pressure at all. We hope to see you all at our next Aquathon in October!
