Race Report 08/09/2020
We are back out racing! It’s been a while Ful-on Tri, but the first couple of weekends of racing, in more than 6 months, has produced some amazing results. Well done to all of those back out competing, it certainly looks like the competitive spirit has not been dampened. Some Ironman branded events are resuming […]
Racing Blog #1: Meet the Fixtures Team
Greetings from quarantine. It’s been great to see so much action and connecting going on over the last month or so – despite my lack of a turbo (or space to put one) stopping me joining in. A few weeks back, we discussed with Ruth and Ed the possibility of producing a few “race […]
Au revoir but not goodbye
Welcome back to your weekly race report… with one small nuance… there are no races to report on. One of the responsibilities of the Ful-on Tri Fixtures Secretary is to write and publish a weekly race report, unfortunately it seems as though this won’t be required for the foreseeable future, and it is with […]
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 […]
