Salford Quays Aquathlon 1st June
Report by Jonathan Dabbs
The first Thursday evening aquathlon was well attended by MTC (about a third of all entrants were from MTC). 13 members in all finished, with some more just doing the swim as race training, and others, not finishing after having arguments with the marshalls over race numbers getting ripped off (Steve - Rob and I both had problems with our numbers, so it wasn't just you!). At the same time 15-20 members were also there for the normal Thursday open water swim, so it was certainly a busy night for the club. Vikki was first lady overall, and Rob was placed in the top 5.
These popular aquathlons are excellent as intros to triathlons for those who are new to the sport, and also a quick sharpener for those getting into the race season. Future aquathlons will be held on the following dates, but if you're thinking about doing one, they can fill up early:-
- 22nd June
- 13th July
- 3rd August
- 24th August
