Liz --------------------------------------------- Matt's race report from Hillingdon: With excellent weather there were plenty of SLH triathletes out yesterday to take advantage of the great conditions at the Hillingdon Triathlon.     Despite the silly o’clock start, everyone was raring to go as we met in the race HQ at 7am where we were reminded that the race does not take the usual triathlon format as the swim is followed by the run and then onto the bikes.    Ruth was the first SLH out of the water but as she wrestled with her wetsuit I managed to get out on the run just before her.  Next out of the water was David, Brian and Beckie who all had a great swim finishing in around 11minutes 30.  The run course doubled back on its self so everyone was able to see how they were doing in relation to the leading group.      Ruth had a fantastic race, and despite being in fourth place after the run she had a storming ride to be the first lady home.   The donuts and cold cans of coke dished out at the finish were definitely well received, and certainly well deserved.  It was a great race that I will defiantly be doing again.  Well done to all those that took part and many thanks for the much appreciated support from Brian’s wife. A great club turnout and excellent results at Hillingdon  8 Matt Chapman 01:14:51 15 Ruth Hutton 01:18:30 24 Brian Henessey 01:22:09 43 David Baker 01:27:40 57 Beckie Woodland 01:34:55 60 Kathryn Hewitt 01:36:27 70 Steven Mitchell 01:41:37 71 Trudy Kuhn 01:42:14 77 Lorraine Hewitt 01:47:29 Full results from Hillingdon 2008 26th June 2008 Dear All   Our Tri club has just had one of it's busiest weekends of the Tri season.   The first of two Aquathlons took place on Friday and was a great success. Followed by our fantastic training day on Sunday.   A huge thanks goes out to Nigel and Chris for pulling it all together and another thank you to Matt and Becky for their enthusiastic input and culinary skills but also their delicious homemade apple cake, which went down a treat.   Also thanks to all those who came along and helped us make the day an enjoyable one for all. I hope you managed to pick up some tips and not pick up too much sun burn!   On the weather front it was spot on, lots of sunshine and a slight breeze, so the swim at the end of the day was very welcoming.   As you were all aware we were joined by John Horseman a Triathlon London level 3 BTF coach. His input t was very much appreciated and his feed back about our club was also very encouraging.   I would just like to add that Chris Costiff joined us later after completing a 100 mile TT, where she was 1st lady! Then drove 80 miles to join us, to take part in the swim session and of course a glass or two of wine. A very tough act to follow lads!   See you all soon and lets push the boat out for Hillingdon !!BRING IT ON !!   Regards   Lorraine x 17th June 2008 Hi all, There is loads going on this week so I thought I would just send out a quick reminder of what’s on the cards. Thursday  Another gruelling brick session headed up by Nigel. Usual time, 6.45 at the club house or 7.00 up on Farthing Downs. Friday  This Friday will see the first of the two SLH Aquathlons, the second of which will be on Saturday 13th September. For the seniors the race will consist of a 400m swim followed by a 4km run while the juniors will do a 200m swim followed by a 2km run. There is a new and exciting run course which consists of a 1km loop as shown on the map, any feedback will be greatly received.  You will be able to register for the event from 7.00 in the car park at the far end of the swimming pool (this will also be the transition area). Everybody should be registered and changed ready for the race briefing at 7.30 so that we can start promptly at 7.45. The event will cost £3.50 for seniors and £1.50 for the juniors.  Sunday  There are still places available for the Southwater training day so if you fancy coming along let us know ASAP so that we can ensure there be enough food on the bbq.  Hope to see you there, Matt  15th June 2008 Three SLH Tri members competed in the Olympic Distance today at Windsor.    Christine Costiff   overall time 2.43.18  6th in Cat Nigel Costiff         overall time 2.47.13 4th in Cat Lorraine Hewett    overall time 3.16.30 7th in Cat Ed competed in the Sprint result to follow.
