OxfordTri Members Night
We’ve teased this for a couple of weeks now but we are delighted to share that Kieran Lindars will be our special guest for our Members Evening on the 30th of January.
Kieran has had an exceptional year which included a 2nd place finish at the Ironman European Championships in Frankfurt in what was an incredibly competitive field. This result propelled him to Hawaii where he finished 8th in the world on the island.
Do check out his instagram to see just how amazing his journey has been – https://www.instagram.com/kieranlindars/
He is world class and we are delighted that he is going to be helping lead our track session from 7-8pm and then taking part in a Q&A as part of our members social afterwards.
We will have a sign up for both the track session and the social afterwards so do keep an eye out for those!
