Hucknall Triathlon

For the second year running, the Balanced Performance club organised the Hucknall Sprint Triathlon and asked the Rotary club of Hucknall to help with the marshalling of the cycle leg of the Triathlon.

The event was run under the British Triathlon Rules and consisted of a 400 m swim (in the pool at Hucknall Leisure Centre, an 18 km bicycle road race finishing with a 5 km run.

My point was marshalling a busy roundabout on Hucknall's Bypass.  There were several cyclists who nearly joined the race as it was difficult at times to work out who was competing and who wasm't.  However, once the cyclists were in vision, their competition number helped.

My stand was also the main road entrance/exit into Hucknall and and lot of vehicles were leaving Hucknall with pink rribbons on, and also with passengers dressed in pink as a Cancer Research Race for Life event was taking place in Nottingham. 

Congratulations to the Balance Performance Club for organising a great event and to all the atheletes for participating.
