2015 Self-Transcencence Try a Tri Results
A great race despite some challenging weather conditions! Many first timers completed a Triathlon and we also welcomed back some familiar faces who have taken part in the Try-a-Tri before.
Well done to those of you who braved the wind and rain - it was great to see the rain at least ease off considerably but I know that wet roads and blustery conditions made it tough out there this year.
You'll all be glad to hear that Sue Ferguson who had an unfortunate crash on the bike route has texted me to say she has received treatment and is OK.
Photos will be uploaded to our Gallery within a few days of the race.
Portishead Self-transcendence triathlon 2015
On 31st May, the Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team promoted the fourth annual 'Self-Transcendence Try at Tri'. It is a triathlon aimed at beginners, who would like to experience the challenges of a triathlon in a friendly and welcoming environment.
The weather was not ideal, with participants greeted by rain and a coolish wind blowing off the coast. Fortunately, the rain eased off once the race started, but the wet roads made the cycling leg particularly challenging.
