The year started with eleven members taking part in the Ironman 70.3 in Barcelona in May. Where we saw two members complete their first 70.3 and one member winning the outright fasted runner, across both genders and finishing her first 70.3 in fourth place. The year also saw two members qualify and take part in the 70.3 World Final in Tennessee. We had a further two members qualifier for the European Aquathlon and Standard Distance Final and a further two members taking the plunge and completing in their first every Triathlon.
