Pure Endurance Triathletes hosted the inaugural Honiton Triathlon 2017, this was the first event the team had arranged and was a huge success with it selling out with 250 entrants. Everyone on the team was a little bit nervous leading up to the event but with the support of DB Max they help reassure the team on any issues such as hat colours, timing issues.

The team arrived early at 4am on Sunday still in darkness and not having had much sleep due to nerves! Not sure who was more nervous the competitors or the organisers but the weather ending up being very hot and perfect conditions for all competitors.The events was a  sprint distance using the Led Honiton Swimming Pool and Honiton Rugby Club as our HQ and with support from British Triathlon the event looked really professional.  Out of the 250 competitors we had over 60 competitors completing a triathlon for the first time. There was a mixtures of all abilities including a remarkable chap called Paul Jelly with only one arm completed the event in a brilliant time of 1hr 35mins. The overall winner and first male was Donald Brooks in a time of 53:26 mins and first female was Flo Swan 1hr 01:51mins.
