Our Athletes
At @trilloydy we have athletes from various backgrounds, ages and experience. We have very good team spirit, an ethos of enjoying the training and a will to give your all on race day. Keeping the easy work easy and the hard work hard, we aim to do the very best at everything we do!
We are not a big squad nor a triathlon club, however, we do target races to compete together both at home and abroad, and with smiles on our faces.
