Race Report W/E 12th May
A fantastic weekend of racing, kickstarting the tri season with a suitable bang. We had London League racing at Crystal Palace, Middle Distances a plenty, and an early race at Dorney lake. All this spanning 4 countries. But before we get to all those results… a bit of admin. I’ve been gently nudging you all […]
Race Report W/E 5th May
With a sizeable portion of the club out sunning themselves… sorry, training… out in Mallorca, this weekend might have been a quiet one. However, we still notched up two Middle distance tris, a marathon, an ultra, a couple of standard tris, and a local sprint tri. Pontevedra Tri Cross Amanda Pirie was out racing […]
Race Report W/E 28 April
Triathlon season is finally here, despite the reports of yet more running. As proof we actually have triathlon race results to report! Oh, and there were some full and half marathon things going on too. Possibly a surprise TT in the mix as well. Saturday – ELCTS Pembrokeshire Half Marathon Our lone Ful-on-Tri runner […]
Race Report W/E 21 April
A busy weekend: the sun visited; beer gardens filled; the Easter bunny painfully laid many egg shaped sweets; and, several of the club honoured the unofficial tradition of visiting the beach at Brighton. But (thankfully – given this week has seen me starting a new contract and moving flats) not many races occurred. In fact, […]
Race Report W/E 14 April
The sun came out for a glorious weekend of racing. And it was a weekend of firsts: first Marathons; first race for our Club Chairwoman (for the season anyway); first middle distance in Greece. With Easter just around the corner, sit back for the last (or possibly penultimate) race report before Tri season officially begins. […]
Race Report W/E 7 April
Well, apologies to all those poker faced club members who did or did not remember it was April 1st last Monday. Sadly this report is more factually correct. In a weekend where the real student (non-Olympian ringer) boat race didn’t even get a mention on live tv (or the news reports), I will try to […]
Race Report W/E 31 March
Another gorgeous weekend has flown by, and this can only mean one thing – it will snow this summer. Fortunately, all of our club racers managed to decide exactly what it was they wanted this week, and managed to complete it all by the end of March too. Though, we had a shorter list of […]
Race Report W/E 24 March
Spring is in the air, the blossom is out on the trees, the sun has ventured out for entire days at a time, the clocks are about to change, and meaningful vote 3 (presumably the worst of the trilogy) is days, months, years, or even days away. In this balmy climate of détente, we had […]
Race Report W/E 17 March
Gear up for a lot of racing news, as the high winds, rain and hail did nothing to deter the 36 club members out racing this weekend. And we’ve had some seriously fast racing to boot. As it’s not quite spring (but only 3 days to go!!), be prepared for a lot of half marathons, […]
Race Report W/E 10 March
Today is apparently the calm before a wet and windy week ahead – with the potential joy of hailstones tomorrow evening. No brimstone as yet. I’ve been assured we can choose our own weather by the end of the month though. Despite the blustery conditions over the weekend, as usual our hardy club was out […]
Race Report W/E 3 March
Storm Freya (yes that is the Norse goddess of love, sex, beauty, fertility, gold, war and death – so basically the Game of Thrones deity) has passed over this weekend, and yet we still had some racing on. OK – some of this was in the muddy battlefields of Lloyd Park – but… not all. […]
Race Report W/E 24 February
It’s been yet another weekend where journalists have used most of their efforts to identify places we are warmer than. And there was also some sport. Yes, in addition to Wales spanking England, and Jonny Brownlee winning the Super League triathlon in Singapore, we had a few of our own club out and about. As […]
