A great days racing with all South West athletes finishing with a smile on their face. We were 6th overall. We also had some fantastic individual performances including athletes who were having a tough day racing through to count for the team and Simon Cooper taking second in his race.

A massive thank you to all those who supported the team. Firstly Andy and Will who gave up their weekends to come and lend their invaluable support. Thanks to all the parents who supported in just the right way making the day very relaxed and making the coaches jobs easy.

Thanks also to our sponsors Brooks, DH cycle Sport, Mule Bar, 2xu and Driven to Tri.
