2015 European Championships
Well done to the 7 strong Manx team that took part as GB Age Group athletes in the European Triathlon Championships in Geneva this last weekend. Hot weather, but a great course around the beautiful setting of Lake Geneva.
Joseph Ricciardi was 1st to go in the Sprint distance event on Friday 10th July. Joe had the worst of the heat as his race was at 11am. The rest of the team raced the Standard distance event on Sunday, although the trade off for not racing in the mid-day heat was an initial Wave start time of 6.30 am! (photo - Joseph exiting T1)
