Sisters Bethy and Anna traveled to Ipswich to participate in the ISA National Triathlon. This was their longest race to date, but they both performed well, securing 6th and 12th places for Sherfield in their respective age groups.
Following the triathlon, they headed to Dorset for the European Qualifiers for the Laser Run. Anna achieved a commendable 3rd place, which earned her a spot on Team GB for the Championships in Turkey later this year. Unfortunately, Bethy finished in 11th place, just missing out on a potential spot, but she still earned a Team Bronze Medal.
On Sunday, they competed again in Dorset, this time in the Triathle qualifiers. Anna impressively secured another 3rd place finish, which means she will represent Team GB in the European Triathle Championships in Turkey in November.
Not wanting to take a break on Bank Holiday Monday, they competed in the Winchester Triathlon. Both sisters beat their times from last year by 5 minutes. Anna finished in 1st place for her age group, while Bethy claimed 2nd place!
After a few rest days at school, they returned to Dorset for the School Laser Run National Qualifiers that Sunday. They made Sherfield proud, with Anna earning a Gold medal for 1st place in her age group and Bethy securing a Silver medal for 2nd place in her Year 6 group. Both will participate in the National event in Liverpool later this year.
Next stop: World Qualifiers!
