Swim/Run Training at MH Health Club Friday

Tuesday, 11 May 2010 15:28 |

On Friday 28th May starting at 7 pm I have managed to get the use of the outside pool at the Morton Hall Health Club for us to hold a Swim/Run training session for club members and potential ones!!

The event will be timed and run similar to an Aquathon, the distances being 300m swim and 5k out and back ( up a hill) run.

Cost to take part will be a small fortune (£2.50) which will cover the cost of at least your first drink at the bar afterwards - and probably a bag of nuts!!

If you dont think you fancy taking part come and watch, cheer, help or just sip beer on the decking and feel slightly guilty that you didn't get ur hair wet...

Shower and changing facilities are all free to use.

Support your Club........see you there!

Waveney Valley Triathlon

Sunday, 09 May 2010 20:25 |

Another good if not extremely cold day for West Suffolk Tri members who took part in this event.

Julia Jepson 2nd lady overall, only to be outdone by a very talented 15 year old.

Lee Sole Age group G winner

Paul Horsley, Age group I winner

Ann Fish, a regular at the Tuesday night swim session, also an age group winner.

The weather was a balmy 6 degrees and absolutely freezing, if only you could feel your feet when you transitioned from bike to run, but overall a good event and won in a time of 47.46.

Waveney Valley 2 on 5th September, entries open this week keep an eye on the tri-anglia website as this will fill quickly.

Thank goodness Sunday was a nice warm spring day. I say that because Mike Cross lent me his tri-suit and being new to the sport I was pretty unprepared for this form of attire and the fact that he told me that I was permitted to cycle and run around the countryside wearing this, without being arrested was a pretty tough test of loyalty on his part. Anyway, having been assured that this was a genuine article and completely acceptable in this sport, I donned the said suit.

Alpe D'Huez Triathlon

I have entered the Alpe D'Huez Triathlon short distance on July 29th (http://www.alpetriathlon.com/v5/), an event that I did last year. It really is a wonderful event, very well organised and attracts lots of spectators. It's a 1200m swim in a chrystal clear lake (I really do mean clear in fact clearer than Bury pool!), not only is it clear but it also tastes like mineral water, well it is straight off the Alpes!! However, the 30k bike is not easy, well... the first half is! The second half ascends the 21 bends, made famous by the Tour De France, up to about 2000m to the ski resort Alpe D'Huez. This is where the spectators really help you, the screams of "ALLEZ ALLEZ" keep you plugging away to the top. Once you get there an undulating 7k run takes you round the mountain. The views are truly awesome, I can highly recommend it! Last year I hired a 5 bedroom chalet (sleeps 10) for the week for about 900 euros although we did get upgraded to an eight bedroom, which was nice!! I have emailed to get costings for the various size chalets that are available for this year so... if anyone is up for the challenge and interested in pitching in for a room drop me an e-mail and I'll let you know facts and figures when I have them.
