The Autoglass Bedford Classic

This British Triathlon Championship race attracted a very strong field with a big representation by GBR age group athletes so I was fairly sure it was going to be tough. However the toughest competition turned out to be the course.

Alpe d’Huez triathlon – 29th July 2010

After a beautifully warm sunny week I awoke to dark clouds and heavy rain.  Not exactly what I was hoping for and conjured up visions of a treacherous ride to the start but to my delight, as the morning rolled on, the clouds began to thin and the sun started to poke through.  The 2pm start time of this race allows you plenty of time to wake up, fuel up and get in the “zone”.  First stop is T2 in Alpe d’Huez to deposit your run shoes,  get your barings and pick out land marks to save time in transition.

Culford Triathlon 25 July 2010

 

Culford triathlon held on Sunday 25th July 2010 was yet another event in our clubs short triathlon history which we benefited from great publicity and another bumper medal haul.
Well done to everyone who competed on yet another well run event.
Ipswich tri club have certainly got the format right which we can hopefully learn from when we host our very own.

There where 200 athlete's (loosely speaking) competing, 21 of which where West Suffolk Wheelers & Tri club members.  Incredibly 10 of our club had already pulled out for varying reasons,including myself! Just imagine 31 of us,WOW and we've only been tri club for 7 months :).

Norwich Triathlon 4th July

An early start as Grayhame had volunteered to help and was given the job of being in transition which opened at 6.00 a.m. This meant leaving home at 5 ish.  The weather at least was kind and the sun was duly shining.  No more freezing cold bike sections.  The Olympic distance was off first at 8.00 a.m, with Nicky Brinkman, James Heath and Lee Sole taking part.
