My son Daniel took part in his second aquathlon today at Shipston on Stour, he did so well as a tristar 2. Daniel swam 200m and ran 1365 m, Mark, nana Jean and I were shouting with excitement to encourage him on. We are so so proud of you Daniel. It was a fantastic day, weather was glorious sunshine which made the day all the more enjoyable. Well done Daniel.
