WITH the growing interest in triathlons and adventure races there is a desire in Okehampton to develop a triathlon group both at adult and youth level. This can be done through the key clubs of running, swimming, cycling offering some connected training opportunities. OCRA are keen to support this process, both at adult and youth level and would be keen to draw all those interested to a meeting at Pavilion in the Park on Tuesday, September 30 at 7.30pm. There has been some good input already with Juliet Patterson, a local youth triathlon coach, who has delivered with OCRA a triathlon taster as part of Okehampton Sports and Fitness Festival. OCRA will shortly start a weekly club session for 8-13 year olds. There was also a good response to Olympic shooter Georgina Geikie's inaugural biathlon in Okehampton. Dave Rickwood has also done great work with triathlon teams in the Devon Games to Inspire while a range of triathlon events and training are on offer at Roadford Lake.
