They have now won the Mazda Inter Regional Championships four times in a row.
The South East region held onto their title in the Mazda British Triathlon Inter Regional Championships on Saturday following a series of six exciting races across Tri Star and Youth levels. The defending champions held off challenges from Scotland and the improved Eastern region who finished second and third respectively.
The championships were held at the sports centre at Aldershot Garrison which will be the holding camp for Team GB when they gather before the London Games in 2012. The athletes swam in a 50m pool before completing a technical bike course around the barracks. The racing continued with a run combining grass and track.
The race proved to be a success for the South East off the field of play as well as on it. Triathlon England South East Region hosted an excellently organised event, thanks in particular to the Irish Guards, Trisport Coaching UK the local sponsor, Farnham Tri Club and Martin Allen the event organiser. Special thanks also to Sarah Coope, Team Manager and Bodyworks for the fantastic support they gave the athletes.
During the presentation of the medals and awards British Triathlon Federation Director, Ian Braid, announced that in 2009 the Mazda British Triathlon Inter Regional Championships will be held at Bryn Bach Parc in Tredegar, Wales. Next year’s race will include an open water swim for the first time and be staged on the course used in the Corus Elite Series.
