Bicester Junior Triathlon 17 April 2016

We learn how to manage our expectations at Bicester in the hope that it will always be better than it was previously. But we had to manage them far greater than we expected this time.

Due to circumstances out of our triathletes control this event had some issues. Despite the weather the day before race day was sunny but chilly. We knew the bike would be soft going so Bicester is a good race to learn how to bike on soft and sometimes uneven ground.

Despite it taking a few days to get the race times through we do have some results despite not all children having split times.  The positions below are gender positions in each Tri Star.

Despite the ‘kerbs’ you all had to negotiate it was a really good turnout for the club and to see you all racing. Thanks to Harry S who popped over to support us all despite being injured at the moment.

We await the outcome from the South Central Series race co-ordinators after numerous emails and phone calls have been made to them not just from Team Cherwell about our concerns (which I emailed to them last week). I have raised the question can the race results be counted in the race series.
