West Lancs Spring Triathlon

Race report by Rachel H:

Mary White and myself took part in the sprint distance triathlon this morning, it’s a very popular event with a competitive field of athletes, it’s based at the Edge hill University campus, 400m pool swim, then 3 laps of the fairly flat bike course and a 5k run round the Uni grounds.

Mary was in the pool a half hour before me so when I was on my first lap of the bike Mary was on her final one and looking strong, as I was starting the run I heard the announcer stating Mary had crossed the finish line and won her age category FV70, well done Mary 👏🏻 a lovely day to be racing and I was pleased to get a PB on this course from when I last raced it in 2024 came 8th in my age category FV50😃🏊🏼🚴🏼🏃‍♀️

Greg Kilshaw

Joining Lostock AC has been one of the best things that's ever happened to me. I decided to give it a try mainly to loose weight and meet new people. It's really helped with my weight, mental health and output on life. I've been in the club over a year now. Everyone makes you feel so welcome and I love being part of the Lostock family. My running has definitely improved, especially seeing all the medals I've won. It is not just running, Lostock offers other activities too such as cycling, bootcamp and skiing. All I've had a go at which has just been brilliant. Lostock is my second family . I have entered the Machester marathon next year and an ultra. All this for someone who couldn't run . Everyone has made me feel very welcome in the club, I now consider myself to be a runner and would recommend anyone to give Lostock a try.

I joined Lostock AC to help improve my running and to motivate me to run more often. The club has surpassed my expectations. I am not from Bolton originally and did not have many friends in the area. I now feel part of an extended family. I have been encouraged and supported to run half marathons, marathons and an Ultra. I would never believe this was possible 3 years ago.

I’m proud to be a member of Lostock AC, it’s an inclusive club with lovely people, there’s plenty of sporting activities to get involved in and the social get togethers are always welcoming and fun.
