The traditional long course event has been replaced this year by a Standard distance triathlon at Oundle on Sunday 17th July.
The distances will be:
swim 1800 yards - 36 lengths of the pool.
bike c30 miles - 3 laps of the Mini Series.
run 6.25 miles (10km) - a new course finishing on the athletics track.
Again non-members can compete. We will require an organiser (otherwise I'll have to organise and compete), preferably somebody who is not chasing Club Championship Trophies. Can we have a quick show of hands on Facebook (their's no commitment to compete) just to check the viability of the event.
Finally, we will require a few marshal's, so if you are free on 17th July (the event starts at 8:00am) please can you put your name down, either on the Forum or on the website race page.
----------------
We have just 3 Mini Series Triathlons left this season. Non-members can compete in two races before being asked to join the club, so if you have any friends (?) who would like to give triathlon a go, please bring them along (kicking and screaming if necessary).
So far the Mini Series has been very poorly attended. The weather has been pretty poor, but with only 3 left, now is the time to bite the bullet. Trophies are at stake and the current leaders are on the Forum, which will be updated each week.
Next Wednesday, 6th July, sees the last of the Novice Mini's - with a 200 yard swim option. This is as well as the usual 400 yards for the regulars. It's £10 for everybody, members and non-members alike.
