Due to the huge popularity of this event, it has now been moved to August Bank Holiday Weekend. The maximum number of teams.has, therefore, increased from 440 to 660.
Unfortunately, it does mean, that I won't be racing there myself this year. Dave Patmore-Hill was due to collate the team entries this year, but has now had to withdraw himself.
Do we have any volunteers to coordinate team entries, register on the day, sort the money side out and organise a gazebo.
Details of the race are on:

Basically each team has 4 members. Team member 1 swim's 400 metres in the lake (wetsuit required), before tagging team member 2 who swims 400 metres, then member 3 swims 400 metres, before member 4 swims 400 metres before tagging member 1 who cycles 3 laps - 9 miles, before tagging member 2 who cycles 9 miles etc. Once all members have cycled, member 4 will tag member 1 who will run 1 lap - 3 miles, before tagging member 2 ... etc.
We usually organise our teams into equal abilities, so that we can have a little race amongst ourselves, so all abilities are welcome.
The Mixed Race will be on Saturday Afternoon.
So far we have: Mike Wenn, Sean Beard, Giles Cooper, Steve Giles, Chris Jordan, Neil Tandy, Dave Wagstaff and Roz Goatly.
Can all members check their diaries, and then add their names, by posting a reply to this on the Forum. We will need to enter soon. It's a great event. Do it now.
