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.

Tewkesbury Sprint Marathon 18th May 2010

With injury and mojo ravaging the club Mark continued his lone furrow in pursuit of the perfect year in triathlon... in his own words...

"...I entered Cascades Pool in my new Orca top and shorts which all the kids thought looked absolutely .....................gay!!

Must be the muffin top.

65th overall and 22nd in veterans 40-50 is a bit dissapointing especially in the new kit. Was kind of hoping for a top 50 spot but there was some serious bikes on display with a few GB outfits that looked better than mine.

Splits are deceiving as they include transitions, at least I hope so otherwise my swimming has gone backwards. A decent walk/run from pool to transition and the timing chip only sounded on way out on bike.

Traffic lights were a pain on ride as I hit a red light on way back but received 30 second deduction from time. Run time has improved but maybe the distance was wrong.

Gloucester next, a top 50 is target..."

Result 65th in 01:12:19 out of 173 finishers.
Splits
Swim - 00:08:36
Bike - 00:45:28
Run - 00:18:45

Full results are available online here.
