This post covers a busy fortnight for Wheelers triathletes. Starting on 10th Sept, Hannah Mclnroy Naylor was in action at the Vitruvian Middle Distance National Championships. After a slower than usual swim, a mechanical on the bike which resulted in Hannah only having the little chain ring available for about half the race, she finished a fantastic 6th in the 25-29 AG …

Lots of Wheelers took part in the Mildenhall Triathlon festival this weekend, from the juniors to seniors, from Aquathlon, Duathlon through to full Triathlon. A mass start for the Duathlon saw Craig Stewart as our first Wheeler in action, tackling the two 5km runs split by the 21km bike in the middle. Mr consistent, he completed both runs in exactly …
Cowman – Half Ironman Triathlon Kicking off this week’s Tri news is Hannah Mclnroy-Naylor’s own account of her outstanding victory at Milton Keynes ‘Cowman’ Triathlon.

Seven Wheelers entered Sunday’s 70.3 Triathlon at Holkham Hall in Norfolk and as Ray Reeves reports, it was an enjoyable and well organised event: “The race started early with Wheelers going off from 06.45 into the lake that was officially “nice”. The 1900 meter swim route took us around two small islands and up an exit ramp into T1. Transition …
Camping out on the finishing straight with the club gazebo in full glory was not only a great vantage position but also a great focal point for our young Wheelers at the increasingly popular Cambridge Junior Triathlon at Impington Village College. The large Wheelers support, who were the most enthusiastic and certainly the loudest, encouraged many great performances, particularly as …
