The Big Optometry Blog: Bennett completes the Brighton Marina Triathlon

It’s not very often you travel to a triathlon in temperatures of two degrees centigrade but as dawn broke last Sunday on the Brighton Marina event things were shaping up to be pretty chilly.

This year Optician’s charity challenge was to take part in the Sussex Original Triathlon to raise money for Blind veterans UK. While the fundraising had been going very well, over £1,600 had been raised before the event, the weather threw a spanner in threw works.As the event date, September 23, drew close a succession of storms caused its cancellation hence the switch to the Brighton event on September 30.
