West Wight Triathlon - Sept 14th 2008
THE first-ever Stubbington Green triathlon club championship will be staged as part of the West Wight triathlon next month.
Already a number of club members, both male and female, have entered the September 14th event on the Isle of Wight.
The event starts at the West Wight Sports Centre in Freshwater with a 600m swim. The 35km cycle ride is along the spectacular Military Road, though it’s a little bit hilly, and the 7.5km run is alongside the River Yar and is very flat.
Triathlon secretary, Richard Thomas said: “My advice would be to go for it and to encourage you along.
