Endless Summer Swim 2011 – Results
The Endless Summer Swim hosted by Gyllyngvase Surf Life Saving and Triathlon club lived up to its name once more, as over 100 swimmers turned up to Gyllyngvase Beach for the 4th annual event. A moderate southerly breeze created slightly choppy conditions, but more importantly the sun was shining for the duration. At the start [...]

Perranporth Triathlon 2011
Big swell and howling winds forced the race organisers of the 2011 Perranporth Triathlon to change the race to a run/wade/run format. Although the race is called a ‘surf’ triathlon, many entrants come down from up-country for this race, and it was probably a good call in the 6ft+ conditions. A cyclist who was testing [...]
Perranporth Youth Challenge Aquathon 2011
Gylly dominated the girls events at the Perranporth Junior Aquathon this weekend.
An Aquathon is the swim and run parts of a triathlon, with the run on the beach, and the participants had to contend with crashing surf and squalls strong enough to take out marquees on frames.
Gyllyngvase girls took first medal trophies in 4 of [...]
