Race Report W/E 13th October
How better to mark the change of Seasons than with the final Triathlon of 2018-19 (Kona) and the first of the Surrey League Cross Country races. We had running races of all distances and an aquathlon too! Before we dip into the final results of the season, a few updates: The race calendar is resurrected […]
Race Report W/E 6th October
As the sun sets gradually towards the Hawaiian horizon our last weekend of the 2018-19 season shook forth a few worthy results – namely two triathlons and two long running races. Bournemourth Marathon Stretching his autumn legs, Nick Crandon took part in Bournemouth’s south coast marathon this weekend, finishing in a great 4hr […]
Race Report W/E 29th September
Writing at the end of a damp and blustery weekend, it’s great to see so many of the club still out racing. We also – DRUM ROLL – seem to have a race calendar where you can see who’s entered again! We did of course have our own club-run event “The Legs of Steel”. I […]
Race Report w/e 22nd September
Good evening fellow tri peeps. The evenings may be getting darker early, and the season may be drawing to a close, but we still have a tonne of races to celebrate. The main events (for the club) this weekend were the final race of the London League (very much deciding our Men’s, Women’s, Mixed and […]
Race Report W/E 1st, 8th and 15th September
I should first apologise for the unusual delay in turning around not one but three race reports. My goal with these is to avoid (as far as humanly possible) leaving any man or woman behind – you all do some fantastic races and the last thing I’d want is to create a report that selectively […]
Race Report W/E 26th August
Whilst some of us have been sizzling in the heat, others have been producing some sizzling results in last week’s races – forget the Vuelta and the Cricket. Athletics, triathlon, sportive and swimming filled the results hopper this time around. But first, a reminder that we have a big September coming up. We have 3 […]
Race Report W/E 18th August
After last week’s solo racer report, we’re back on track with a weekend of mountains, fast cycling, mud, tunnels and triathlon records. Swiss Alps 100 This looked both a beauty and a brute of a run. Based in the Swiss mountains, 3 options were available: 50km; 100km and 160km (running through the night). […]
Race Report W/E 11th August
It’s quiet… too quiet. But, we did have one race over the weekend. Eton Standard Triathlon Our very own Alexie Calvert-Ansari was out racing at Dorney Lake this weekend. In this standard distance tri, he not only grabbed second place overall, but also broke the 2hr barrier, in a fantastic time of 1hr […]
Race Report W/E 4th August
I can officially say that whilst one can race 100 miles on barely any training… it’s not that wise. Bacon and eggs this morning never felt so guilt free. Numbers wise we had a very 2-wheeled and aquatic weekend. We did have a few triathlons too though. Previous report omission Thanks to Xavier for […]
Race Report W/E 28th July
This weekend capped one of the most spectator friendly Tour de France 3 weeks for quite some time, without the typical team Sky/Ineos race shut-downs, and a fantastic set of results for Colombia, France (despite shedding the yellow jersey with the alpine weather) and Slovakia (in the ever present and dynamic form of Peter Sagan). […]
Race Report W/E 21st July
Before we get into this week’s race round up, sadly we had some very bad news yesterday: three of our fastest club racers were the subject of a nasty bike crash. Whilst John Borton escaped the full collision, Ruth Purbrook was in A&E with a broken collar bone, and James Ellis unfortunately came off worse […]
Race Report W/E 14th July
The weather gods were kind again as we had another big weekend of racing. We may be a multi-talented club taking on varied events, but the London League is where it’s at – and finally we stuck in a massive performance. Orbiting around the edges of the Rumble at the Theme Park were also some […]
