24.10.09 Ashurst BC Junior Training Aquathlon - Results

For those juniors that regularly train with Stuart Foster on a Wednesday night and attend the swim on a Saturday with Paul Burgess we completed the first ABC junior training aquathlon on Saturday.  It was initially going to be part of a winter series, but entries were on the low side.

Firstly many thanks to Julie H helping out and to Paul who has taken the junior swim session by storm and is doing a great job with the session - thanks both of you.  Also thanks to Stuart Foster for organising and coaching the juniors on a Wednesday night at Cowley High School.

Chris and Matthew Lamb and Savannah Morgan all completed their first aquathlon on Saturday at Selwyn Jones, all Tristar1 age group, so their distance was 150m swim followed by a 1.5k run. All put 100% effort in and it was great to see them really pushing themselves. Each of the kids had either Jules or I chaperone them from poolside into transition in the changing rooms and then on the run up towards the A580 from Selwyn - it worked really well.

Matthew Lamb: Swim 2:40.73; T1 01:13.75; Run 7:10.74 = 11:05.22

Chris Lamb: Swim 3:21.50; T1 01:00.30; Run 7:47.64 = 12:09.44

Savannah Morgan: Swim 3:21.99; T1 02:11.62; Run 8:04.05 = 13:37.66

Thanks again to all.
