Start of season race round-up 💥
It’s been a busy few weeks of racing for the team. Kirill, Steve, Simon and Rhiannon kicked things off with strong performances across the Manchester, Newport and London Marathons.
For our Youth, Junior and U23 athletes, the Super Series season is underway with races at Performance Assessments and Llanelli. Huge results from Tom taking the win in both youth races, and Leon leading out the swim in Wales.
Over in Italy, Andrew, Kirill and Roberto took on Challenge Cesenatico — a solid early-season hit out with strong performances from both athletes.
Last weekend also saw plenty of Optima athletes racing at Outlaw Nottingham, with great results from Alex, Rachel, Steve and Katherine .
A brilliant start to the season with lots more racing to come 💪🤙
