A Euro call-up for triathlete Oliver

He will travel to Tartu, Estonia, in July next year to take part in a 1,500m swim, 25-mile cycle and 6.2-mile run.

Oliver will be in action against some of the best triathletes in Europe.

Club member Steve Bourne travelled to Scotland to take on the Braveheart Triathlon - which included climbing Ben Nevis.

Steve had to swim 1,900m, cycle 56 miles and then - as if that wasn’t enough - climb race to the peak of Britain’s highest mountain before returning to the finish line at the base.

He had to battle high winds on Ben Nevis and slippery surfaces, making the challenge even harder, finishing 59th overall in 7 hrs 37 misn 31 secs.
