Rounding off an amazing season, Johannian Jordaan Patrick (pictured) and Sandy Telfer competed at the European Middle Distance Triathlon Championship in Walchsee Kaiserwinkl, Austria.

They represented Great Britain in their respective age categories – they were required to qualify by achieving 120 per cent of the winner’s time at a middle distance triathlon in the previous 12 months.

The club is incredibly proud of both of them and their continued success.
