Swim 500m Bike 27k Run 5k
Based at the East Grinstead Leisure Centre this years event attracted a field of 330 entrants plus 42 for the Try a Tri Event.
An indoor swim of 500metres[20 lengths], followed by a longish run from the Leisure Centre to the adjacent field for the transitions. A circular bike route of 27K climbing up to the edge of the Ashdown Forest. Finally a 5K run with a mixture of off road paths, undulating, to pick up the main road back to the Leisure Centre.
The early starters whilst having to rise early[ like half past four],benefited from dry conditions whilst the later starters had to contend with the wet and windy conditions.
Bromley Vets had six entrants but a special mention must be made of Katrina Patching who competed in her first Triathlon in the Try a Tri event where her run split gave her sixth overall and first in her age group. Over the three disciplines she finished twenty eighth.
