Sleaford triathlete impresses on half-ironman bow

The juniors have been particularly busy with seven competing from Tristar1 to Tristar3 at the Grantham Aquathlon; a very early swim–run event with all competitors finished before 9am.

Many members took part in the first of the Aquathlon Series at Activities Away; an open water swim followed by a run.

Keely McNiffe was third-fastest female out of 67 adults racing, while Connor Nutley was third-fastest boy home, and also represented the club at the Ashbourne Aquathlon.

To add to her busy week, Keely (pictured) managed an impressive second place in her age-group at the Outlaw Half-Ironman.

In her first attempt at the 70.3-mile event, she completed in an impressive time of 5hr 49min.

Joining her on the day in hot conditions were Stuart Gutteridge, and juniors coach Louise Short.
