Triathlon success!

Congratulations to Hannah Lancaster for winning her first ever Triathlon, on Sunday 22nd May, at Ragley Hall.

Hannah has already been selected to attend the Talent Inspiration Programme for 2016 at Loughborough University in August for her hard work and dedication towards her sport. She was one of two people selected from Worcestershire to attend. The programme will provide her with support and advice for managing her training and school commitments in the future.

Coming first in her first Triathlon is a massive achievement especially against such a strong field of competitors. The event included a 750m swim in open water, 25km cycle and a 5k run to finish.

She commented, “I came first in my category in my first 750m open water triathlon against strong competition. Not only that, when I crossed the finish line I was congratulated and hugged by Jodie Stimpson”

Hannah was also questioned about her first open water swim and said, “I personally really enjoy it and much prefer it to swimming up and down a pool. However, the start is a bit chaotic and you get punched and kicked a few times!”

Well done Hannah, a true inspiration!
