Shropshire Triathlon



Nice




Heading out of Transition

 It's been a busy day today! dashing around Cremorne Gardens this morning, helping with the set up for the Shropshire Triathlon. Then watching the start at 11:00 a.m.. There must have been 500 - 600 people thrashing their way around the 1500 metre course in the mere..quite a sight.

Leaders rounding first Marker


Watching the "transition" stage is exciting..so much time can be lost just by not being efficient in changing out of wet suits or not getting feet into cycling shoes in one swift movement.


First group preparing to start

 These guys 'n gals are very hardy sorts! Some extremely fit people were stretching or warming up in the gardens and along the prom. They have to be tough to even complete the course..let alone set a fast time.
This is an amazing event..lots of competitors and spectators..if you could find a parking space in Ellesmere today, you were lucky!
