Race Photos

The weather smiled on our Try-a-Tri event and every single starter made it to the finish. Of the 41 athletes who started, 34 successfully completed their very first Triathlon. Well done you :)

A big thanks from me to all the athletes who came along with such enthusiasm to try a new race and to the volunteers who also travelled from far-flung outposts of the Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team to make a superb event crew.

Results are attached for those interested in their times - though for most it was a case of "completing rather than competing". The fastest times came from Isabella McNally and Toby Fyfe, who for now can proudly call themselves Course Record Holders as this is the first time a Tri has been held on the course. We do hope to be back next year with the same race at the same venue, but before that we have 2 Duathlons at Tockington and 3 great running events at Eastville Park - see our Bristol Races page for details.

The race gallery has been uploaded in full - the photos were taken as quick-fire bursts of images both on the finish line and after receiving medals, so you can pick and choose from several shots. I hope to upload a few videos of the swim and the finish too at some stage, mostly for the benefit of future competitors.

Best of luck with your next race, whatever and whenever that may be.

Sri Chinmoy Tri Club & GO TRI

In 2022 we were thrilled to walk away with the British Triathlon award for best GO TRI event in the south west, and we've been part of the GO TRI initiative since it was first dreamt up years ago as being in some way the "Park Runs of triathlon". OK, they may not be free like the Park Runs but just like those popular weekend 5k runs, they encourage newcomers to have a go at a sport that can be life-transforming. If you haven't checked out all that GO TRI has to offer then why not start by taking a look at their website - https://www.gotri.org/training - or their event diary to see what else is happening in Wales and the West of England. We've recently heard from British Triathlon that GO TRI is going to be replaced with a new initiative called Swim Bike Run, so we're waiting to see how that affects our events.

Try-a-Tri Tips

For those who sign up to our Try-a-Tri the regular emails with tips and answers to the most frequent newbie-triathlete questions are by all accounts a big help in getting ready for their first race. We'll be uploading the Tips emails here for everyone to take a look and find out about the rules & kit requirements of GO TRI events.
