Katie represents GB in World Triathlon Para Cup
Maidenhead Athletics Club (MAC) celebrated a couple of impressive achievements in a quieter week for club events and races.
MAC member Katie Crowhurst represented Great Britain in the Ladies VI race in the World Triathlon Para Cup in Portugal, finishing second in her category with an overall time of 1.11.01. The rain was torrential as she competed in the visually impaired race, but she gritted her teeth to clock 21mins47seconds for the 5k run, 9.42 swim and 33.49 on the bike.
Her busy weekend didn’t end there, however, as she jetted out to Abu Dhabi on Monday for the World Triathlon Para Championships.
The NICE 10k also took place in Birmingham’s Cannon Hill Park on October 31 and MAC’s Neil Muir was on the start line. Nursing a few niggly injuries he finished 37th in 50minutes, but more importantly raised funds for the NICE-centre for movement disorders, a pioneering charity that transforms the lives of children and adults with incurable movement disabilities such as cerebral palsy, Parkinson’s and multiple sclerosis.
