Congratulations to Mark Robinson, one of our Masters swimmers, who competed at the Leeds Ironman on 16 August!

Mark travelled to Leeds uncertain whether he would be able to complete the bike and run legs of the event. Unfortunately, the swim was cancelled, but that didn’t stop him from taking on the challenge.

Showing incredible determination and resilience, Mark persevered and absolutely smashed both the cycle and run sections of the event. 💪

A fantastic achievement and a true example of dedication and commitment. We are all incredibly proud of you, Mark!

👏 What a champion! 👏
