Do3 head coach Dave Knight, recently named Coach of the Year at the Stratford District Sports Awards and shortlisted for Coach of the Year in 2017’s 220 Triathlon Awards, said: “I am delighted for everyone who will be representing their home nation as an age group competitor.
“These athletes have trained hard and tirelessly and are now reaping the rewards. Each individual has their own objective, however, they all share the same drive, determination and commitment – Do3 doggedness.
“It’s already been quite a start to 2018 after Corinne (Moss) was named as the regional Sports Person of the Year and it looks set to be a landmark year for Do3.”
