Race Report W/E 22nd March
As I sit watching Boris urge us all to stay indoors, I hope that everyone is keeping safe and well and as far away from each other as possible. We are being a responsible club, and have cancelled all group training sessions, however many of our coaches have stepped up to the challenge by offering […]

Race Report W/E 15th March
Welcome to the latest Ful-on Tri racing news report, and hopefully not the last for the next few weeks. Despite the impending end of civilisation, it was good to see several events had gone ahead at the weekend. Obviously, the news has not all been positive. You will have seen major events moving to postpone, […]

Race Report W/E 8th March
It’s that time of the year again – the London League has arrived once more – and, pending the official LL table, it looks like we put a good first shot across the bows. We also had our first triathlon of 2020, a bevy of long and hilly trail runs, more half-marathon action, an alternative […]

Race Report W/E 1st March & W/E 23rd February
A lot happens when you leave your keyboard alone for a fortnight, not least the sky has nearly turned blue again. We’ve also had two fantastic weekends of racing. For the most part half marathons, they also included more Crit racing and our first TT event of the season. To help share what your race […]

Race Report W/E 16th February
With Dennis hot on the foot of Ciara, who would have thought we’d have any racing this weekend. Well, we did. One mildly intrepid soul on Saturday, and two far more adventurous / foolhardy club member on Sunday – both running. But before we dig into the weekend’s stormy exploits – it appears that […]

Abingdon Crit Race Report, by Heather Mayer
On Saturday, I made a trip up to Abingdon to race in a criterium – a bike race on a relatively short circuit which you ride around multiple times over the course of 40-50 minutes, with the aim of being first across the line at the very end. I’d chosen to do this race somewhat […]

Race Report W/E 9th February
Well… we just about squeezed in the final races of Cross Country before Ciara hit. This was the only racing of the weekend, but some great performances nonetheless. Lloyd Park held up its reputation as a set Sam Mendes would be proud of. Slightly more genteel conditions in Richmond Park. All followed by a well-earned […]

Race Report W/E 2nd February
Well, a lot has happened since our last Race Report, not least a changing of the guard at the top – welcome to our new Chairman, Richard Harper. The weather definitely cleared and warmed up a bit too, making for pleasant (if breezy) racing conditions this weekend. Obviously, there was also a day of varied […]

Race Report W/E 26th January
Hopefully everyone got their racing and training in before the weather finally broke this afternoon. We had 4 events taking place over the weekend: cycling, trail running, cross country, and a 10k. Southern Cross-Country Championships Over at Parliament Hill, John Borton was racing in the South of England Cross Country Champs – 8.4 […]

Race Report W/E 19th January
Well, winter briefly showed its face this weekend with ice cancelling the Saturday morning ride. And, for the most part people either elected to stay indoors (doing dry January and eating pity chocolates or claiming a turbo session). However, we did have one brave soul out racing. Run Through: Richmond Park Half Marathon […]

Race Report W/E 12th January
Storm Brendan fortunately decided to arrive after the weekend, resulting in relatively “pleasant” off-road conditions for our two penultimate Cross Country matches of the season. Alongside these, we also had racing at Dorney Lake, a race in Portugal, and a trail run in Hampshire. Men’s Cross Country Race 3 – Oxshott Woods Conditions […]

Race Report W/E 5th January
Happy New Year, and welcome to a new decade! Hopefully we’ve all rested and returned fresh, if not a little heavier and in need of our well run training sessions. Some of the club kick started their calendar year’s racing this weekend (I’m guessing it offsets the depression of taking down the decorations). All running […]
