HMS Drake’s Wyvern Centre Gym complex in Devonport has hosted a triathlon for service personnel who are recovery from injury or illness.
The Royal Navy Recovery Centre (RNRC) Hasler’s Rehabilitation Triathlon Taster event enabled teams from Personnel Support Groups (PSG), Recovery Troops (RT) and Casualty Management Cells (CMC) to try out the event.
One of the organisers of the Rehab Triathlon was Leading Physical Trainer Yarroslav ‘Tych’ Tychyna, from RNRC Hasler. He said:
“All the participants who entered are currently engaged in a recovery pathway and they thrived in this competitive environment and certainly pushed themselves to their limits.”
The Tri-2 category was dominated by Commando Logistics Regiment (CLR) from Chivenor, with Corporal Luke Green taking first place and Marine Adam Clarke a close second on his heels. Third place went to a Marine from Taunton based 40 Commando RM.
In the Tri-4 (Open) category the winner was Flying Officer Ben Holmes from RAF Brize Norton, second place was Marine Max Mortimore once of 40 CDO and third place to Marine Charlie Butler from CLR.
The Team Relay Category was once again dominated by CLR in first place with Bickleigh’s 42 CDO in second and Commando Training Centre Royal Marines in third place.
Tych added:
”It was a pleasure to see the best effort levels from all competitors and RNRC Hasler looks forward to hosting the event again in 2023.”
