Elliot Swallow (Year 7) competed in the British IR Triathlon Championships in Durham on 4 September 2011, having previously qualified for selection to the Triathlon Academy and the Triathlon England Eastern Region Team. The championship brings together the top 154 young triathletes in Great Britain within the 11 to 16 year old age group in teams from Scotland, Wales and the 9 Regional Teams of England. These are considered by British Triathlon to be the future stars of triathlon in this country. Whilst each team of 14 are all competing for the coveted Gold, Silver or Bronze Team Trophies, individuals within all the teams are also competing against each other for the success of gaining individual rankings within GB. Despite all the competitors in the Boys Tristar 2 (11-12 year olds) being nervous prior to the commencement of the swim, Elliot got off to a reasonable start in the last quarter of the group but by the time they rounded the first buoy he had moved up into 1st place only to be pulled back and swam over by others just before they rounded the second buoy but with the finish line in sight he powered through the field to gain 6th place on exiting the water into Transition One. With a little difficulty in getting out of his wet-suit in transition, Elliot lost time and went out onto the bike course in 12th place, a position which he held until the end of the second lap when he lost ground having exerted so much energy in attempting to regain position on the high speed track. In approaching transition 2 he was very cautious, obviously being aware that earlier competitors had received penalties for dismounting too early. This caused him to drop down the field for the commencement of the run discipline where he took time to regain energy and get to a comfortable pace before regaining places to finish with an amazing sprint 100m from the finish line to overtake another competitor in the last 15m and achieve a creditable Ranking of No.16 in GB and assist his team in being placed 4th overall, only 20 points behind the Gold Medal winners who were the North East and on their home track.
