1988 Lanzarote Triathlon

This report appeared in the July 1988 issue of Tri-Athlete (UK). It was the first triathlon magazine that I ever bought. From WH Smith on Slough High Street. I read the Lanzarote report many times. It was the 4th edition of the near-Olympic Distance race. More race reports later.

I was intrigued by the amount of British athletes who’d made the trip. And the fact that Dave Scott was there. I also got my first sighting in magazine form of Tracey Harris. Why was Glenn Cook not on Scott DH? And check out all the Winning Club / Aquaman wetsuits on the start line.
