Riada Triathlon Club held their spring triathlon on Sunday 21st May. The triathlon (250m swim, 10 mile cycle and 2 mile run) was a sell out with 98 participants ranging from 1st timers to those kicking off their race season. The morning started wet and dismal but the skies cleared by the time triathletes finished their swim and left transition 1.
Congratulations to all prize winners!
