Trent Park HSV Triathlon Takeover!
This past Sunday, Trent Park athletes showed up bright and early for the HSV Sprint Triathlon in Hatfield – and what a morning it was!
Despite the 6am start and a surprisingly chilly bike leg, we had 13 members racing (6 women & 7 men), including first-timers Richard Allen, David Weir, and Matthew Petch-Cooper.
Standout performances:
Matt Petch-Cooper – 7th overall with the 3rd fastest swim!
Dave Weir – 13th overall, 3rd in his age group, 4th fastest run
Richard Allen – pushed past his swim nerves and finished just 5 seconds behind John Kercher!
The women were on fire:
Anja Greenwood – 2nd woman overall
Christine Hawker – 1st in her age group
Ania Sikorka – bike split was faster than the winner (!), but after realising she’d taken a wrong turn, graciously stepped back from a podium finish
Sue Cross & Beata Falkowska – both earned age group podiums too!
In the Aqua-bike,
Caroline Harding – 1st woman, 2nd overall
Luke Bowie – 4th overall while easing back from injury
Most importantly, the Trent Park team spirit was out in full force — cheering each other on the course and at the finish!
Next up: Eton Dorney Triathlon – Saturday 20 July
Let’s make it another one to remember!
