Lilly and Evie headed to South Africa for the World Championships in biathle and triathle. Both were at the younger end of their two year age group – just qualifying was an amazing achievement.
The course was tough – sand and a hill in the run section and rough sea for the swim, both tackled these multiple times during the race week!
First up both had to take part in a biathle heat, both successfully qualified for the final. Both girls then took part in a mixed Biathle relay. Lilly and her partner came 5th and Evie with her partner came 6th.
The second day was the biathle finals. both girls fought hard, Evie finished 13th and Lilly 12th. Evie was 4th Brit back so just missed out on a team medal. Lilly was 3rd Brit back so made the team and came home with a team silver!
The third day of competition saw Evie do a triathle heat, which she comfortably made the final in. Lilly had another relay this time for mixed triathle. Lilly and her partner finished a respectable 6th place.
The fourth and final day saw both girls compete in the triathle final. Evie finished 14th and Lilly 7th. Evie was 4th Brit back so once again just missed out on a team medal. Lilly was 3rd Brit back meaning another silver team medal.
Thanks again for all the support the girls received from Jack Bloor – it was massively appreciated.
