Starting the afternoon's racing off and competing in his first ever aquathlon Jamie Beebee set a blistering pace for a convincing win in the Youth category claiming fastest swim and run of the day! This was followed up by two brilliant performances within the Tristar 3 categories with Macauley Carline and Holly Barnett both claiming first place in their races – these were very competitive categories and both did exceptionally well in their first aquathlon.
