Sadly the numbers were down at the race this year, probably due to the timing of the Olympics with only 29 men and 4 women racing …… it would be really good to boost the Quad numbers next year …… Lets get our Team together and make it a big GB Quad Team 2013!!! Lets do our very best to build on Olympic fever and get people into Quadrathlons…… keep our sport alive!
