DAMBUSTER now open.

Vitruvian is now open. It only takes a day or two for this race to fill up.

NOTE: It does clash with the World Championships in Canada, so you can't do both!

I'm booked in. Canada was a bit too far for me ;-)

Dambuster Triathlon and Duathlon at Rutland Water, are both now open too.

Don't forget that the Dambuster Triathlon is a Club Championship race, so enter early before it fills up.

I can't believe I have just booked in to do the Dambuster next year. Scared! If anyone has any tips on good training plans to follow, please let me know.

Thanks.

We spoke at the AGM of getting some ladies bike sessions going with Sam, Christina, Roz etc.

Badger them to ride the course now while we still have some decent weather.

I can't keep up with those speedy 3 ladies Steve. Maybe one day....

Plenty of time left to train Jemima. I ride the Dambuster course fairly regularly so would be happy to take a steady tour with you and give a few course tips once we get into next year.

Thanks Steve, that's kind. I'd appreciate that.

I have entered. Think I lost my mojo on that Hill somewhere so hoping to find it next year. Anyone seen it?

Hi Jemima, as Steve said there is plenty of time yet. Looking to start a ladies group but I am really busy for the next few weeks and then we are getting into December and christmas period. I am super slow at the moment as I have done very little biking this year so everyone might be waiting for me :-)

Coaching wise I am interested to know what club members want? I am busy every other Saturday with the Juniors but would like to get some other club sessions going.

Sam

Hi Sam,

I would like some all round coaching on all disciplines! :)

I would like to know how I should split my training over the weeks as I'm training for the Dambuster. For example how many sessions of each swimming, cycling and running should I be doing. Also I'd like to know what sort of distance/speed/etc I should be doing. I really want to do the Dambuster fully prepared and do it to my best ability.

Thanks

Jemima

Jem do you fancy meeting up for a bike ride and we can have a chat?

As Dambuster is our local race and one of our club champs races we could organise a club recce, Steve or someone quick can take out the fast boys and I can take a more sedate group round? Look at both the run and bike course?

Sam

Hi Sam,

Are you free this Sunday to join us on the Gorilla Firm Cycling ride? We're meeting at 7.45am, at the Gorilla's Shop?

Kate Armstrong is coming too this Sunday.

Thanks

Jem

Sounds like a plan, see you Sunday. Will be great to catch up with Kate too.
