Stokesley Duathlon
Congratulations to all 15 Darlington Tri members who did the club proud in the first major duathlon of the season at Stokesley last Sunday. Many were trying this type of event for the first time and the feedback was generally very positive, although no-one liked the headwind up to Hutton Rudby! Some great performances in there and well done to everyone.

We had 17 members at Branksome School yesterday and it was great to pick up some tips and advice from Alan, Rich and Graeme. A big thanks to them. Some members who couldn’t make it have asked if we can arrange a repeat session and we hope to set this up in the near future.
