Through their outstanding efforts in the Triathlon Sprint Relay, the Battle of the Nile team raised over £2500 for the Alzheimer's Society.
 

Twenty teams took part in the Triathlon Sprint Relay held at Eton Boat Club at Dorney Lake.  The combined skill and experience of the intrepid trio (Anthony Fenwick-Wilson 'Tug' (53-57), Jeremy Hodgson 'Hodge' (51-54) and Bill Harding 'Bunty') saw them take a commendable last place - not bad considering the team's combined age was at least double that of the next oldest team.



Anthony Fenwick-Wilson writes of the experience;

'I'm sure you will be pleased to know that we survived the triathlon without the aid of artificial respiration or ambulances!....The runner came 17th, the cyclist 13th but it was the heroic effort of our synchronised drowner that enabled us to reach the apogee of success by getting lost in the swimming.  (Nobody accepted his excuse that his periscope had misted up).'
