That pained expression is what it took this year to qualify for the World Champs later in the year and the 2016 European Champs. Yep, I’ve just had confirmation that I have once again qualified for the 2015 World Triathlon Age-Group Championships that will be held in Chicago this September, and the 2016 European Triathlon...
The qualifying events for the 2014 ITU Age-Group World Championships and the 2015 ETU Age-Group European Championships have just been published.
