← HaverSports Fritton Lake Triathlon Weekend

Another great time at Fritton Lake Triathlon Weekend. Last year I completed the 'Triple-Tri Challenge' but this year I only participated in the super-sprint as hip OA means I don't run anymore but thought I could just about manage a 2.5k run...and I did. Rare opportunity too to get to swim in open water in such a short race (400m) in a nice lake. Whilst some of the road surfaces on the ride aren't great I enjoyed the short loop, it was marshalled superbly & I achieved a similar time to last year. The off road run seemed longer than 2.5k to my legs that hadn't run a yard for 6 months but the dry conditions, supportive marshalls & scenery made it almost enjoyable! 

I supported a mate who completed all three races & the whole weekend was a great success. Almost perfect weather conditions, this well organised, scenic & friendly event is ideal for all-comers in my opinion. There probably is scope to have a few more stalls/things to look at especially on the Saturday for those who are doing all events with time to kill, without detracting from the pleasant atmosphere/nature of this event. 

 

Hi David, Great to see you back and competing and many thanks for such a comprehensive review. We're really pleased our marshal teams had a positive impact on so many competitors. It was great to see many competitors and supporters relaxing and enjoying the beautiful surroundings of Fritton Lake between races but we will take your comments on board re stalls. Hope we'll see you again in 2019! - HaverSports
