CLACTON’S 16th triathlon weekend proved another great success.

Competitors from far and wide enjoyed ideal racing weather and a calm sea.

Organisers Clacton Triathlon Club, formed exclusively to raise funds for the Brain and Spine Foundation, had to adjust their racing programme this year due to the ongoing sea defence work.

However, this worked brilliantly and the same route will be used again next year.
