Triathle is a feeder event for Modern Pentathlon and consists of a continuous shoot/open water swim/run.
Last year, Sebastian competed at the Biathle World Championships in Viverio, Spain in September as well as last year's Laser Run World Championships in South Africa where he also had the honour of being the GB Flag bearer in the opening ceremony.
Sebastian trains in swimming, running and shooting with Severnside Tritons, Stroud Athletics Club and Cotswold Pentathlon respectively. He is also a member of Leweston Pentathlon Academy in Sherborne.
