The Wight Tri Club Championship Triathlon – the final event for the 2022/23 season – was held at Yaverland Sailing and Boating Club.
After being postponed from the previous week due to adverse weather conditions, it was changed to a Duathlon format, as the sea state was still too extreme for swimming.
The duathlon started with a 2.5km flat out and back run along the Sandown revetment, followed by 2 laps of the Bembridge Windmill loop, making up the 19km cycle. This was followed by a 5km hilly run up to the Culver Monument car park, finishing back at the sailing club.
The 2023 Wight Tri Champion was awarded to Jan Fletcher, who was first in the nominated event, finishing just 22secs outside her nominated time in 1:20:22. Hannah Bryan was next in 1:30:41, with Chris Till 3rd, finishing 54seconds faster in 1:04:06.
Jan Fletcher and Chris Till were also the fastest female and male athletes, finishing well ahead of their nearest competitors. A great end to a super season for both athletes.
