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

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

Hi all,

Lorraine and Ed raced in the Eaton Super Sprints on Saturday kicking off a great weekends racing for the tri club. Unfortunately they didn’t get Ed’s split times but he finished in 165th in a time of 1.09 and Lorraine finished 7th in her age category in 1.25.

Fortunately the weather was much improved come Sunday morning in time for the start of the East Grinstead triathlon. The race was this years club sprint champs and consequently there was a huge SLH turn out with 13 members of the club competing.

The ladies were well represented with Ruth and Chris both coming first in their age groups. Jane had a great race and finished in 3rd place and, despite Jim not being around to put her chain back on when it came off (!), Jennie finished 10th.

The men were also out in force. Nigel lead the way finishing 2nd in his age group, Dave, on his brand new bike successfully completed his first triathlon, he had a strong finish with the sixth fastest run. Also out for their first triathlon was Paul, he came out of the water in 264th place and then with excellent bike and run sections he worked his way up the rankings to finish 22nd!

Wednesday and Thursday night training

Due to the EGM this Wednesday there won’t be any open water swimming at Southwater. However, there run will be a ‘brick’ session on Thursday night, meet at the club house at 6.45 and we will then head up onto Farthing Downs for a half hour session.

See you there, Matt

Chris & Nigel took part in the Half Ironman in the New Forest on Sunday. This is a really well organised event and the weather was almost perfect apart from a bit windy on the bike course which also turned out to be 58 miles. Chris won her age group in a time of 5.49.11 and was 7th overall. Nigel did 6.30.17 after having a bit of trouble from dismounting his bike to actually getting running on the half marathon course.

The penultimate London League has been and gone and from the results available it seems as though SLH Tri Club should be 2nd Overall in the League and 2nd overall in the Mob Match Competition. This is far better then the Club expected when we first decided to target the League. The race took place in Hillingdon Outdoor Activity Centre but abandoned the usual swim, bike and run format in favour of a swim, run then bike running order instead. The swim took place in a large lake; Rob Crozier was feeling the temperature after misplacing his wetsuit and swimming without one. Colin Young picked up a nasty cut to his foot when exiting the swim but managed to struggle on through the run and bike to finish in a very respectable time. Fastest SLH Swimmer of the day was Brian Hennesey who went on to finish as third Vet. Ruth Hutton followed only one second behind and Ben Corteen was just another two seconds slower then her. After the swim things dried out quickly for the run and Andy Collins put in the quickest run time for SLH catching all of our athletes with the exception of Brian. The run was 75% on road with only minor undulations before going across a flat field and back into transition number two and the bike. This race is part of a ten toughest triathlon series but though the bike route was a little lumpy it wasn’t as bad as a lot of people had expected, there’s even a rumour that after an hour or so of complaining on the way to the race at least two of the SLH team actually quite enjoyed themselves. After the bike the pecking order finished as above. Well done to all who took part, particularly Ruth for first lady, Andy for first VET, Brian for third VET and Martin for his first time as a scorer in the London League. Rob

Where to begin…

So what if the forecast was a bit rotten, fifteen SLH TRI CLUB didn’t seem to care as they took on the worst of the weather and the best of the competition. Rumour has it from the provisional results that SLH Tri were third overall, This could mean anything for the London League, it really depends on what Optima and Ful-on-Tri did on the day. At best we’ll bob up to second and at worst we’ll tread water in third position. It’s true that the other clubs seem to be playing a tactical game but for every point they concede by not turning up we gain a place by being consistently strong. I’m sure the same can be applied to sensible training and I’m very proud to be involved with a consistently strong club like ours.

As for individual performances; Matt Chapman showed his strength in his first open event fro SLH Tri by being our second fastest athlete of the day on his second event in our Colours. Well done to Beckie, It’ll be interesting to see how you did overall. Trudy had a good day and I was very impressed as I watched her glide past two others in her lane during the swim leg. I’m sure Nigel will be pleased to know that his swim coaching is being put to good use. Ruth never fails to impress and today was no exception, she took age group honours having only seen water at bath times for the last four months having chosen to dedicate her time to marathon training. Andy Evans kept injuries at bay to come in as our fifth scorer and though he kept me out of the honours I can honestly say that I’m very pleased for him. Particularly after he vowed to wear club kit once we have replenished our stocks. Andy Collins, having received a silver medal at the National Age Group Duathlon Champs this year he was always going to be one of our big guns and it is a pleasure to see him take Age group honours in an Aquathlon event.

A big well done to all of the athletes that I haven’t mentioned individually though, having spoken to you after the event I know that people were pleased with there performances and I think if we’re being honest we were a little shocked with our own presence today.

There are only three events left in the league now and one of those (Palace) is full. Get your entries in soon for Hillingdon Tri and the Clash of the Tritons. If I put my tactical head on for a minute I’m not sure how well Thames, FOT, Serpentine and Optima will travel so we may well be able to claw back some points for a spectacular sprint finish at the last event.

Lastly, having had only one lady at each of the first two events it was great to have four today so well done to Lorraine, Trudy, Beckie and Ruth.

National Duathlon Champs  (Ashbourne)

Andy Collins was our sole competitor at this National event, unable to get away Friday night, it meant another early start, leaving home at 4:30am. The race comprises a tough 12Km run, hilly 40km bike, then a fast flat 4km run. A little disappointed with his 3^rd placing at Cambridge , Andy was keen to turn the tables on the two that beat him there. I am pleased to be able to report he did that and, surpassing his own expectations he won the silver medal, coming second in his age group.

1^st         Tim Don            2hrs 01mins 48secs

Our three Duathlon GB Team qualifiers were all racing at Cambridge .  It was a very early start for Andy and Parky meeting up with Phil who stayed overnight in Cambridge .

The race set off in 4 waves with Phil and Parky in the second and Andy chasing them down from the fourth wave.

Conditions were good and the race always attracts a quality field.  

Finishing positions were:

1          Tom Lowe         1hr 49min 15secs

Thames Turbo results

1st April 2007

Sunday 1st April was the first of the London League fixtures, proceedings took place at Stubbers Activity centre near Upminster and the event, The Dragonslayer was hosted by East London Triathletes. 

Members present on the day were; Kathleen S, Andy C, Jim B, Anthony H, Francis S, Phil S and Rob C. 

The first 3 mile run was all off road and pretty flat with the exception of a few short hills and a stiff breeze added in for good measure. A nice flat non technical bike route and again the breeze was present, four laps and around 23 miles according to Francis. To finish it off we had to put the running shoes back on and head out for the last 5 mile off road run. 

We were first team with Full on Tri in 2nd and Optima in 3rd. I think we caused a bit of a stir among the other teams who I'm guessing have never heard of us. 

Our scorers Jim Burdett 2nd Overall Andy Collins 4th overall, 1st Vet Phil Scarles 16th? Francis Staunton 19th? Kathleen Southall 36th?

Robs report from the Dorney Duathlon:

Did my first multisport event since the two bods race on Sunday. Went over to Dorney lake, had a reasonable day by coming 25th out of 110 or so.  The weather was a bit miserable with strong winds and a little bit of hail at the end of the second run. The distances were 5k -20k - 5k, I'm back in action at Beaulieu this Sunday and I think I might have some SLH Tri Company there.

10th March 2007

On Saturday 10^th March, Andy Collins and Phil Scarles travelled to Worksop in Nottinghamshire to race the Clumber Park Duathlon which was a qualifying event for selection for the GB Age group Teams for the European and World Duathlon Championships later this year. The first 5 in each category would automatically qualify for the GB Team.  Andy was up against 59 others and Phil 32 in their respective age groups.

Arriving a little late, and with no time for any warming up, both were tight from sitting in the car for 3 hours.  The first 10k run was run at a phenomenal pace with the first man back in 33’ 05”.   Phil ran 36’ 12”, whilst Andy was lagging behind coming in nearly a minute later in 37’ 10”.  So to the bike leg.  On an undulating 40K course Andy put in a good solid 62 mins while Phil struggled a little and completed the bike leg in 72 mins.  After a smooth T2 Andy was flying and took 19’ 15” for the second run of 5K, with Phil running in 20 mins.

The overall times were Andy 2hrs 1min ( 20^th overall) and 2hrs 11mins for Phil (95^th overall).

Andy was very surprised to find out that he had not only qualified but was the 1^st Vet 40 to finish so collected his age group trophy.  The results show that he won his category by only 28 seconds, however 27 of these were made up by quicker transitions.  A lesson for all of us.

Phil finished 9^th in his category so must wait to see if this is good enough for qualification.

Both Andy and Phil are racing again at the Cambridge Duathlon in April which is another qualifier, so fingers crossed for Phil.

The SLH Tri Club flag was flying at the Chilly Duathlon. Andy Collins went to Castle Coombe race track for an early season duathlon. The conditions were absolutely treacherous with horizontal rain throughout the event. Andy was pleased with his performance, finishing 7th overall and 1st male vet 40. This bodes well for Andy at the GB qualifying event at Clumber Park next Saturday.

Where to begin…

So what if the forecast was a bit rotten, fifteen SLH TRI CLUB didn’t seem to care as they took on the worst of the weather and the best of the competition. Rumour has it from the provisional results that SLH Tri were third overall, This could mean anything for the London League, it really depends on what Optima and Ful-on-Tri did on the day. At best we’ll bob up to second and at worst we’ll tread water in third position. It’s true that the other clubs seem to be playing a tactical game but for every point they concede by not turning up we gain a place by being consistently strong. I’m sure the same can be applied to sensible training and I’m very proud to be involved with a consistently strong club like ours.

As for individual performances; Matt Chapman showed his strength in his first open event fro SLH Tri by being our second fastest athlete of the day on his second event in our Colours. Well done to Beckie, It’ll be interesting to see how you did overall. Trudy had a good day and I was very impressed as I watched her glide past two others in her lane during the swim leg. I’m sure Nigel will be pleased to know that his swim coaching is being put to good use. Ruth never fails to impress and today was no exception, she took age group honours having only seen water at bath times for the last four months having chosen to dedicate her time to marathon training. Andy Evans kept injuries at bay to come in as our fifth scorer and though he kept me out of the honours I can honestly say that I’m very pleased for him. Particularly after he vowed to wear club kit once we have replenished our stocks. Andy Collins, having received a silver medal at the National Age Group Duathlon Champs this year he was always going to be one of our big guns and it is a pleasure to see him take Age group honours in an Aquathlon event.

A big well done to all of the athletes that I haven’t mentioned individually though, having spoken to you after the event I know that people were pleased with there performances and I think if we’re being honest we were a little shocked with our own presence today.

There are only three events left in the league now and one of those (Palace) is full. Get your entries in soon for Hillingdon Tri and the Clash of the Tritons. If I put my tactical head on for a minute I’m not sure how well Thames, FOT, Serpentine and Optima will travel so we may well be able to claw back some points for a spectacular sprint finish at the last event.

Lastly, having had only one lady at each of the first two events it was great to have four today so well done to Lorraine, Trudy, Beckie and Ruth.

Well done to Hannah Field, Amy Mitchel and Jennie Hewett who competed
for the club at K2 children's aquathlon. At present I do not have the
full results.This is the first of, I hope, many outings for our junior team.
The next event is to be held at Dover on the 26/05/07 which will be a
triathlon and is also part of the London League. If we have any other
budding young Triathlete's out there please contact me.

National Duathlon Champs  (Ashbourne)

Andy Collins was our sole competitor at this National event, unable to get away Friday night, it meant another early start, leaving home at 4:30am. The race comprises a tough 12Km run, hilly 40km bike, then a fast flat 4km run. A little disappointed with his 3^rd placing at Cambridge , Andy was keen to turn the tables on the two that beat him there. I am pleased to be able to report he did that and, surpassing his own expectations he won the silver medal, coming second in his age group.

1^st         Tim Don            2hrs 01mins 48secs                  

36^th       Andy                  2hrs 15mins 36secs          2^nd Vet 40

Cambridge Duathlon

Our three Duathlon GB Team qualifiers were all racing at Cambridge .  It was a very early start for Andy and Parky meeting up with Phil who stayed overnight in Cambridge .

The race set off in 4 waves with Phil and Parky in the second and Andy chasing them down from the fourth wave.

Conditions were good and the race always attracts a quality field.  

Finishing positions were:

1          Tom Lowe         1hr 49min 15secs    

28         Andy                  2hrs 03mins 58 secs                  3^rd  Vet 40

Robs report from the Thames Turbo triathlon & London League standings:

Thames Turbo results

1st April 2007

Sunday 1st April was the first of the London League fixtures, proceedings took place at Stubbers Activity centre near Upminster and the event, The Dragonslayer was hosted by East London Triathletes. 

Members present on the day were; Kathleen S, Andy C, Jim B, Anthony H, Francis S, Phil S and Rob C. 

The first 3 mile run was all off road and pretty flat with the exception of a few short hills and a stiff breeze added in for good measure. A nice flat non technical bike route and again the breeze was present, four laps and around 23 miles according to Francis. To finish it off we had to put the running shoes back on and head out for the last 5 mile off road run. 

We were first team with Full on Tri in 2nd and Optima in 3rd. I think we caused a bit of a stir among the other teams who I'm guessing have never heard of us. 

Our scorers Jim Burdett 2nd Overall Andy Collins 4th overall, 1st Vet Phil Scarles 16th? Francis Staunton 19th? Kathleen Southall 36th?

Robs report from the Dorney Duathlon:

Did my first multisport event since the two bods race on Sunday. Went over to Dorney lake, had a reasonable day by coming 25th out of 110 or so.  The weather was a bit miserable with strong winds and a little bit of hail at the end of the second run. The distances were 5k -20k - 5k, I'm back in action at Beaulieu this Sunday and I think I might have some SLH Tri Company there.

10th March 2007

On Saturday 10^th March, Andy Collins and Phil Scarles travelled to Worksop in Nottinghamshire to race the Clumber Park Duathlon which was a qualifying event for selection for the GB Age group Teams for the European and World Duathlon Championships later this year. The first 5 in each category would automatically qualify for the GB Team.  Andy was up against 59 others and Phil 32 in their respective age groups.

Arriving a little late, and with no time for any warming up, both were tight from sitting in the car for 3 hours.  The first 10k run was run at a phenomenal pace with the first man back in 33’ 05”.   Phil ran 36’ 12”, whilst Andy was lagging behind coming in nearly a minute later in 37’ 10”.  So to the bike leg.  On an undulating 40K course Andy put in a good solid 62 mins while Phil struggled a little and completed the bike leg in 72 mins.  After a smooth T2 Andy was flying and took 19’ 15” for the second run of 5K, with Phil running in 20 mins.

The overall times were Andy 2hrs 1min ( 20^th overall) and 2hrs 11mins for Phil (95^th overall).

Andy was very surprised to find out that he had not only qualified but was the 1^st Vet 40 to finish so collected his age group trophy.  The results show that he won his category by only 28 seconds, however 27 of these were made up by quicker transitions.  A lesson for all of us.

Phil finished 9^th in his category so must wait to see if this is good enough for qualification.

Both Andy and Phil are racing again at the Cambridge Duathlon in April which is another qualifier, so fingers crossed for Phil.

The SLH Tri Club flag was flying at the Chilly Duathlon. Andy Collins went to Castle Coombe race track for an early season duathlon. The conditions were absolutely treacherous with horizontal rain throughout the event. Andy was pleased with his performance, finishing 7th overall and 1st male vet 40. This bodes well for Andy at the GB qualifying event at Clumber Park next Saturday.
