TSP16: The 220 Triathlon Series - Year 1
In 1991 the team at 220 launched a 5 race triathlon series. It would last 5 years. Add a new narrative to the British triathlon season. And provide plenty of content to fill the pages of the magazine.
One of the races on the docket was Windsor. As teenage tri-nerds, the Windsor Triathlon was a big deal for me and my brother. Because it brought a big race and top athletes to within 5km of our house.
In this episode find out more about the first year of the 220 Triathlon Series and what the Windsor race was like back then.
