What’s happening at Halesowen Tri?
January 14th, 2010
Currently we’re training on Tuesday evening at Halesowen pool. We meet at around 6.45 in the foyer and begin our session at 7.00. Our coach Matt Cherry is a county level swimmer and has a wide background of coaching both swimmers and triathletes. The session finishes around 8.00.
In the summer months we also have open water training at Swan Pool West Bromwich on Wednesday evening.
We’re cycling on Sunday morning at the moment. We meet at 9.30 at the Wychbury inn At the bottom of Hagley Hill. Rides vary from 20 to 50 miles though any slower riders will always be looked after.
Sunday 28 Feb saw the first HALESOWEN TRI event.
The HALESOWEN AQUATHON over 400m swim and a 5k run saw 40 adults and 40 juniors brave the raw weather. Everyone agreed a great event dispite this.
