Brigette Oelofsen, Luc Railton and Mecoli Vorster.
Three Union biathletes made the journey to Port Elizabeth on Saturday, 31 August, to compete in the first league event of the 2019/20 season.
Despite the very cold and blustery conditions, newcomers to the sport, Mecoli Vorster and Luc Railton competed for the first time and acquitted themselves well, while Brigette Oelofsen was sadly unable to complete the run due to a recurring knee injury.
All three competitors did surprisingly well in the swim portion of the event, despite the long layoff over the winter season.
They are looking forward to improving both their swim and run times in the next league event which is to be held this coming weekend, Saturday, 7 September.
