Chirk Triathlon, Sunday, 23rd April, 2006.

Not to be outdone by the Skipton Triathlon, this early season sharpener was held on a beautiful spring day in North Wales. The course, a 400m pool swim - 24k bike along the beautiful River Ceiriog valley - 5k run a beast 'up hill & down dale'. The challenge didn't deter Paul Hawkins (MTC member racing for Royles) as he won the race by over 1 minute. Dominant in all three disciplines, Paul recorded the fastest swim split and second best bike and run. Not far behind in 5th overall was Paul Skipper, with the best run split.

This is a really popular race, with over 400 participants. I would recommend it as an early season sharpener for 2007 but book early as it was full by February this year.
