Coaches
These coaching sessions will be delivered by Andy Thornton and Hilary Johnson as part of their UKCC Level 2 Certificate in Coaching Triathlon.

Coached Session Numbers
It is the intention that both Andy & Hilary will attend all of the eight sessions which means the coached group can be a maximum of 40 people (20 people each). Should either not be able to attend then the coached session numbers will have to be adjusted accordingly. These coaching numbers are a H&S / insurance requirement.
