Welsh Aquathlon Championships 2013
Yesterday WhittleFit head coach, Mark Whittle, took part in the Welsh Aquathlon Championships in Poppit Sands in west Wales. The aquathlon race consists of a swim, followed by a run and this particular race was a 1km sea swim followed by a 5km off road run.
The bay at Poppit Sands was very calm so the swim was pretty flat, no swell, no waves to speak of, and almost perfect swimming conditions. The run was a combination of a flat off road trail, with a small undulating section on the road, followed by a very tough final few km’s on soft sand!
Coach Mark had an excellent day coming 13th overall and 2nd in his age group, well done Mark!
