Chorley Duathlon

Date: 9th May 2018 @ 12:08am

On Saturday under an uncharacteristically warm blue sky, 5 of our intrepid athletes (and 2 previous Brethertonians) took part in the Chorley Duathlon with approximately 250 others. Each one, ran, cycled, and then immediately ran again in an event which sounds so much easier than it really is. 

The first run set off at a fast pace, the children flew into transition, put helmets on, grabbed their bikes and they were off. The bike circuit was a tricky grassy hilly loop, which when they had completed the required distance they placed their bikes back in transition and again sprinted out on their run. 

Congratulations to each of them for their inspirational performances and attitudes, you humbled me with your determination.
