Our 2017 FIT Womens’ Triathlon Training Program ended with almost all participants competing in the Novice Clubs Triathlon on Black Mountain on the weekend.

All of our coaches were very proud of their achievements – congratulations to our new triathletes – a number of whom are continuing on with the Next Steps program.
