2016 has been a big year for the TORQ Performance Triathlon Team. 

Nick Shasha braves the awful weather conditions and takes 3rd in Age Group at the Bedford Autodrome Duathlon…

As Nick finished 2nd Brit and 4th Overall at the 2016 European Championships, he automatically pre-qualified for the 2017 Europeans. 

The fact that Iain Robertson travelled from Norfolk to Bala for this race, is indeed testament to the quality of the event and to the Elite field it draws every year. 

Sam Rose was all set for a perfect conclusion at the World Age Group Standard Distance Championships in Cozumel. 

Towards the end of the season, Helvellyn is a great last hit out, with some serious gain in elevation. 

Vitruvian Middle Distance hosted the English Middle Distance Championships for 2016. 

Iain Robertson narrowly missed the podium in the Overall catagory, yet proudly secured 1st Vet home, as he smashed the popular “Sandman Triathlon” on Anglesey, North Wales – which was hosted by the incredible “Always Aim High” Events crew. 

Both Alex and Iain had strong races at the British Triathlon Championships and were both placed on the podium. 

Whilst re-building from injury, Eleanor couldn’t resist competing in the Castle Howard Standard Distance Triathlon, where she narrowly missed out on the podium. 

Sam Rose heads to the Pitsford Standard Distance Triathlon and gets another win under her belt…

Here’s Sam’s account of the race:

“After the race briefing, the first two Male catagory waves set off, before the third and final wave, the Ladies were able to take position in the water. 

Nick Shasha switches to triathlon for the rest of the season and takes 5th place at the Triathlon England National Championships. 

Once again, Iain takes his top position on the podium and pleases his home crowd, despite making a few embarrassing mistakes…

Here’s Ian’s account of the race:

“The Norwich Triathlon is run by my local club Tri-Anglia, where, incredibly, the bike route even goes past my house!
