Shurdington Tri Club

The Shurdington Tri Club was formed in April 2009.
There were originally 5 of us who trained regularly and always start in Shurdington. We train together on sunday mornings and separately during the week.
Like a lot of wannabe triathlete's/cyclists/runners out there it's a compromise between family, work and training.
There is a just for fun leaguetable calculated from points gained in the training sessions. This is meant to be for fun but is getting pretty competitive particularly in some of the sprint finishes!

Event plans for 2010 have been set and the club has decided to carry out Fund Raising activities for Sue Ryder.

Arch to Arc....in a gym?

Sunday we all went up to the Sue Ryder Home on Leckhampton Lane to meet with the fundraising contact - Lucy. We had a tour of the grounds and discussed some fund raising ideas....

Being men the thoughts turned to something a bit extreme and the word endurance was mentioned...it started as why don't we swim the channel as a relay team in a pool? 23.89miles between the 4 of us. Spreadsheet constructed and claculation done it didn't seem far enough or extreme enough.

That's when it evolved to doing the Arch to Arc triathlon as a relay in the gym.

The Arch to Arc is an extreme triathlon where you start at Marble Arch in London, run the 89miles to Dover where you then swim the 23.89miles of the English Channel before cycling the 179miles to the Arc de Triomphe in Paris.

With three of the team being Esporta members that is the venue of choice assuming that they will allow this to take place..

Watch this space - we'll do something extreme just a case of what? If you've got any ideas post them on here in the comments!
