Eight of us (Brian and Kathryn Clapp, Peter Hession, Paul
Bristow, Sean Coursey, James Sherratt, Jon Wyatt  and Martin Long) have signed up to
participate in the Blenheim Palace Triathlon on Sunday September 12^th,
2021. Paul instigated this, after an evening of drinks at the Alex just under a
year ago. We are all linked by having children who have been at Bishop Gilpin
Primary School. None of us, apart from Paul have done a Triathlon before; we
are all over fifty and in various states of decay

Set in the grounds of a UNESCO World Heritage Site,
Blenheim Palace is full of history and surrounded by beautiful British
gardens and nature. It is described, by those that know, as the most
stunning triathlon in the UK.

The course starts with a beginner friendly, fresh lake open
water swim for 750m, followed by a gently undulating bike course along
completely closed roads for 19.8 km. And to finish off, we enjoy beautiful
scenery as we run around the Queen’s pool for 5.4km!

We have decided to raise funds for Faith in Action Merton
Homelessness Project (FiA) something we have all volunteered or supported in
the past
