Hope and Haslam just miss out

Two Peterborough Triathlon Club (PACTRAC) members narrowly missed out on winning a place at next year’s European Championships in Estonia when competing in the Castle Howard Triathlon in Yorkshire at the weekend.

Both Steve Hope and Sarah Haslam were just one place off qualifying in their age group and Aaron Gooden missed out by three positions.

All three will try again in another European Championship qualifier at Grafham Water in two weeks time.
