Staff push themselves to their limits to raise money for school gym!

Instead of having a restful half term 6 staff members decided to push themselves to their limits both mentally and physically by competing in The Bloodwise Blenheim Palace Triathlon! A triathlon is made up of 3 events swimming, cycling and running.

Mrs Saralis and Mrs Foster swam 800 meters in the chilly Great Lake alongside Eels and Catfish while trying to avoid getting tangled in weed. When they had finished the swim they had a 400 meter run up hill to the transition area where they tagged in Miss Burton and Mrs Ash who cycled for an hour around the Oxfordshire countryside in boiling hot conditions. Then finally came the last leg of the race Miss Waldram and Mr Averion were tagged in to run 6km in the scorching heat to the finish line!

Why would staff complete such a tough event on one of the hottest days of the year? As well as improving fitness they have been raising money to go towards a new school gym so all the boys at school can benefit from better sporting facilities. They have raised nearly £600 so far but there is still time to sponsor using the just giving link below.

Well done team!
