Warren Road Primary School in Orpington will be holding a short triathlon on 4 July, involving a 40m swim in the school pool, then three loops of the playground on the bike and one loop on the run. It\u2019s being organised by parent Diana Bryant, whose husband Gary was a keen triathlete before he succumbed to cancer last year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\u201cMy hope is to allow all children to experience and enjoy a triathlon,\u201d says Diana via email to 220<\/em>. \u201cAnd in turn this allows me to give something back to Warren Road primary school. The general feeling amongst the children is one of excitement and intrigue into this new sport. The school is a \u2018sporty\u2019 school and the head himself is a keen cyclist who reached a competitive level.\u201d<\/p>\n They\u2019ve already recruited supported from various partners: Huub is providing prize vouchers, Cycles UK are doing bike safety checks, and Tesco will be donating nutrition such as waters and bananas.<\/p>\n
