2016 has been an exciting year for London Fields Triathlon Club, we’ve established a regular juniors section, we’ve welcomed several new (and returning) coaches to the team, witnessed a slew of awe-inspiring multi-sport and single-discipline achievements from members (whether taking on multi-sport for the first time, conquering ultra-endurance challenges or stepping onto the podium) and welcomed many new faces to the club.
Each year we celebrate our athletes, volunteers and coaches with our annual awards and this year the annual LFTC Club Awards were announced at our Christmas party on 10th December. Outgoing Men’s Captain, Ashley Roberts presented the Club Championship awards to the fastest female and male athletes to finish at our five designated club championship races along with other awards recognising some of the the amazing achievements and contributions to the club in the last 12 months. Head Coach Abby Boswell then announced the awards voted on by the coaching team.
Congratulations to all award winners and to all members for making the year such a success!
