Situated once again in Buckler’s Hard near Beaulieu in the New Forest; these events combined saw 300+ triathletes take part, many in need of some TLC after their races in the form of sports massage provided by myself and Hayley from ‘Fitness in the City’ based in Southampton.
On this occasion, we were lucky enough to be located near the finish line, where we were able to see lots of different things taking place. It was great to experience athletes crossing the finish line, and to hear all the support from the crowd. We got to meet and treat a variety of people from a huge range of ages, from early 20s to 60’s. One man on my massage table had been to the London Olympics the night before (where he watched Mo Farah win his second gold medal in the 5000m) had three hours sleep, then took part in the standard triathlon; now that’s commitment!
At the end of the events, it was wonderful to see the winners from each age category receive their much-fought-for trophies. This is something we wouldn't normally get to see as we're usually set up elsewhere, so it was a real treat. Overall, a really great day had by all; and now only one more event which will finish off the season next month.
