Harriers Triathlon Kit

Harriers Triathlon Kit is available for the start of the 2009 season. The kit consists of the Sugoi'Tri tank' style of top and separate shorts plus arm warmers. They are the same style as the 'Team Bedford' tops which we have been used successfully in all distances up to Ironman.  Although they are best for warm weather training / racing, you can always put a base layer underneath for colder days.

The tops are in region of £30 and the matching shorts £25. Arm warmers will be about £15.
Sizes go from 28" to 40" unisex and womens. See Richard Piron, Alastair Fadden, Tony Parello or Steve Crane for further details.

The Triathlon kit is now available either from the Stadium Mondays and Wednesdays before training or at BHSG pool on Saturday mornings.  Please see Christine Parello and fill in an order form.  You can try the kit on first and pay by cheque (preferable) or cash.

Tri kit is still available - please contact Richard Piron, Christine Parello or Katarina Darcy
