British Triathlon and our Elite Team Partner GE would like to invite athletes to the GE Paratriathlon Talent Identification day, being held at British Triathlon’s Performance Centre at Loughborough University on Saturday 26th November 2011.
The day is being held to allow athletes, from all sporting backgrounds and with a range of abilities, the opportunity to test their skills and fitness levels with a view of being selected for a place on our Paratriathlon Performance Squad for the 2012 season and beyond.
Jonathon Riall, National Paratriathlon Manager commented: “Britain is currently sat at the top of the world medal table for a second year running. As we move ever closer to our first Paralympic cycle, I am very excited and hopeful to discover some new triathlon talent at this talent ID day who could go onto challenge for international honours and hopefully one of the first Paralympic medals in this exciting sport.”
For further information or to book a place please contact Jonathon Riall on jonathonriall@britishtriathlon.org or visit www.britishtriathlon.org/para-tri
