EWR are committed to investing in exceptional talents and Shaun Keen is no exception. Shaun has competed in many athletic events all around the World from the Rhonnda Triathlon to the Gloucester Triathlon and his successes continue to mount up
Following the World Championships in Bejjing last year, Shaun has been working hard on his swimming after joining Devonport Swimming Club for at least 4 hours a week. He has also recruited the coaching services of non other than Paul Brew, the son of the legendary Archie Brew, and has reconstructed his stroke to ensure he is relaxed and producing more power.
The Dawlish Aquathon was an ideal opportunity to try out all his hard work and preparation in a competitive environment and yet try to remain relaxed! It is one of a series of four 'multi-sport' event races organised by the Exeter Triathlon Club and is very popular, attracting athletes from far away; one couple even travelled from Buckinghamshire to compete!
On race day the weather was good but with the temperature just about reaching 6 degrees, the thought of completing 24 lengths of a swim and then running 5K wasn't too appealing. Despite a leaky goggle Shaun completed the swim in 9mins 12 seconds and started off for the hill climb of 5K.
Shaun finished in a time of 30 minutes and 54 seconds, putting him third in the 40-49 age category and winning himself a new pair of Maru goggles!
EWR is so proud of Shaun and his accomplishments and wish him the best of luck with his next event: The Sidmouth Aquathon on the 11th March 2012.
Looking great in his gear!
All set and raring to go in EWR's sponsored cycling kit

We organise races at the extremes of human performance, in the most extreme environments of sea, air and land on the planet.
We speak to the inner soul of everyman, spanning age and origins, to those who aspire to extreme challenges and to the few inspired to compete there... against themselves, against others and against nature.
We provide the arenas for endeavours of great significance where the scale of the undertaking is as extreme as the challenge itself.
Simply put... we provide the canvases on which destinies are painted.
