EAST ESSEX TRI CLUB - RACE REPORT

 

 

North Norfolk Triathlon 14 June 08

by Dave Knight

A trio of junior triathletes from East Essex made the 250 mile round trip to take part in the North Norfolk Triathlon on Saturday 14th June.  Small the group may have been, but all three did themselves and the club proud achieving some notable results.  First off was Jack Shellito in the Tristart category, who performed well in all 3 phases, maintaining the position he held after the swim leg and crossing the line in a very well deserved 3rd place.  Next off was Kiera Tippett in the Tristar 1 group who showed that she is beginning to return to the form that she showed last season by finishing strongly at the end of the run section and taking 5th place.  Finally, George Knight faced a strong field in the Tristar 2 category that contained many of the Eastern Region’s leading competitors.  Having had an excellent swim, George put his recent difficulties on the bike behind him to have his best ever cycle performance and go on to cross the line in 4th place overall.
