A TRIO of athletes from Kidderminster and Stourport Triathlon Club (TRiKS) have been in action for Great Britain.

The three, Dave Bennet, Graham Thorley and Steve Hatch, represented the nation in the European Olympic distance Championship in Kitzbuhel, Austria.

The event, which was made more challenging due to unusually hot weather, took place over a course made up of a 1,500m swim, a 40k bike ride and a 10k run.

Bennet finished ninth in 2.24:47, Thorley was 33rd in 2.29:25 and Hatch came in 64th in 2.35:24.
