Coimbra, Portugal – 21.6.24
I flew to Portugal to compete in the 20 – 24 GBR Age Group Aquathlon at the week long Multi-Sports Championships in Coimbra, Portugal. This was my first time competing in an Aquathlon event.
The 1000 m swim took place in the Mondego river with a 5 K run being 2 laps around the old city. The swim was a mass start and although getting a bit held up at the start I soon found my rhythm, exiting with a very respectable time. The run was tough in the heat of the day, the course being on a mixed terrain of tarmac, rough ground and cobbles.
I finished with my highest placing to date in a GBR Age Group Event, coming 7th in the 20 – 24 Age Group.
It was once again a great experience to qualify for and compete with the Age Group Team and to race alongside athletes from across Europe.
Here are a few photos from the event.
