Race results w/e 13 May
Written by Heather Mayer The season is now very much in full swing with a week full of training camps, the first English open water swims of the year, runs, bike races and triathlons last week. Hope everyone had a wonderful week away in sunny Mallorca, although I’m glad I can go back to scouring […]
Race Results w/e 6th May (plus the bank holiday!)
Written by Heather Mayer Despite a hefty chunk of the club flying off to Mallorca in search of pothole-less roads, considerate drivers and beautiful seas, it was an eventful first weekend of the month back home, bringing sunshine and heat to London, and with that some triathlon competition! Kicking it off last week, I did […]
Race Results w/e 29 April
While I was off training for the fourth discipline by doing Peroni reps over the weekend (I think I’d be better off in a sprint than an ironman at my current liver fitness level), Ful-on Tri members had a fantastic week of racing. Starting off with epic bike journeys, Annalisa Sarasini, Dave Bulmer and Pieter […]
Race Results w/e 22 April
By Heather Mayer In typical English fashion, the fact that the sun was shining all week last week was met with over-enthusiastic early morning trips to Richmond Park, people baring all their skin and competing for Best Lobster, and finally complaints that it was just too hot really. The sudden change from deep winter to […]
Race Results w/e 15 April
Written by Heather Mayer Apparently the sun was out this weekend, although unfortunately I missed it by traveling across the pond to Boston where I got to watch some people throw tea over the side of a boat and to go to a marathon expo without having to run a marathon. Fortunately, the good weather […]
Race Results w/e 8 April
Written by Heather Mayer Wow, what a weekend of racing! Maybe we were inspired by the Commonwealth Games, maybe it was the Hell of the North that got us going, or maybe we just got a bit of spring fever after seeing the sun for the first time in weeks on Thursday and Friday, but […]
Race Results w/e 1 April
Written by Heather Mayer Hope you all had a lovely long weekend, full of lots of chocolate, if somewhat lacking in sunshine. The weather this weekend yet again threw a spanner into the works for any of us, scuppering the annual Good Friday Brighton ride, as well as an early season triathlon on Sunday. Nevertheless, […]
Race Results w/e 25th March
Following last weekend’s white out, Ful-on Tri was back out in force this weekend embracing the less abysmal weather. Ursula Hankinson stormed through the Cranleigh 21 with impressive speed as part of her London Marathon prep. Unfortunately there are no photos of this achievement, as head supporter Xavier Faux Pas missed the finish while trying […]
Race Results w/e 18th March
Written by Heather Mayer Despite the beautiful, sunny, Spring-like days we had last week, this weekend saw winter rear its head once more, blanketing the land in a layer of fluffy white stuff. Unfortunately, this meant that a fair few races were cancelled or postponed, disappointing many of us who were looking forward to some […]
Race Results w/e 11th March
Written by Heather Mayer As I sit here recovering from a pastel de nata filled weekend (it’s an excellent pre-race food!), looking out at the grey sky signalling the very best of English weather, I’m amazed that we’ve made it to March. It’s that time of year when the light is hanging in the sky […]
Race Results w/e 4 March
By Heather Mayer Welcome back to all our Lanzarote friends. I will admit to having been rather jealous as I looked on my Strava/Instagram/Facebook feeds last week to find photos of the sun and see evidence of long rides that didn’t involve wearing 500 layers. I hope you’ve all had a great week, and I […]
Race Results w/e 25th Feb
Written by: Heather Mayer As winter has returned in earnest, sending Spring scurrying back into its hole along with Punxsutawney Phil, this weekend saw a few of our club mates don their running shoes for some impressive racing. On Saturday, James Ellis ventured up to north London to race at the English Cross Country National […]
