THE RACE was on in Wargrave last weekend as swimmers stepped up for the village’s Sprint Triathlon. On Sunday, June 27,
91 individuals and teams took the plunge on Ferry Lane for the seventh annual sporting event.
They had to complete a 750 metre swim in the River Thames, followed by a 20km (12.5 mile) cycle ride, before finishing the race with a 5km (3.1-mile) run.
Coming in first with a time of 1:08:35 was Andy Morgan, who was shortly followed by James Waite who finished in 1:10:22.
The fastest female competitor was Beverly Johnston with a time of 01:19:32, followed by Faye Bartlett at 01:21:26.
And the quickest team was Team Meglio, finishing in 01:10:04, taking the top spot from Two Henleys and the Hungarian with a time of 01:12:13.
The organisers of the Wargrave Sprint Triathlon said it was a fun morning.
“What a day,” they said on social media. “Congratulations to all our amazing triathletes, and a huge thanks to all the volunteers.”
Daisy Love supported the event with free breakfast and coffee for the competitors, who were also given a warm up session by Castle Royle.
