Club member Jacqui Phillips has recently returned from New Zealand with a bronze medal from the World Triathlon Championship. Jacqui is a member of the local triathlon club Triathlon Kidderminster Stourport (TRiKS), but joined Wyre Forest CRC during the Summer where she distinguished herself in the mid-week time trials championship with several excellent times as well as becoming the club's ladies time trial champion. However it is in triathlon that Jacqui excells and after winning gold in her age group at the European Championship earlier in the year she decided to take on the world in Auckland. With top triathletes from America, Canada and hosts New Zealand Jacqui was aware this would be a much stiffer competition, but after a 750 metre swim, a 20km bike ride and a 5km run she finished 3rd in her age group with an overall time of one hour 16 minutes and three seconds.
