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.

Although Welsh he is a popular member of the club. A strong cyclist he never shirks his turn at the front. He has recently been dethroned in the cycle stakes as Le Faset exerts his ability and shows what it can be like when you have time to train. Nigel has competed in many tri's and is a double ironman triathlete (although the pusy only has one ironman tattoo!)
Short of leg and large of arse he is a fierce competitor and it is only a matter of time before he and Le Fasset kill each other in a sprint finish.

Mark Pierce
As the newest and oldest member of the club, Mark is the only veteran and respectfully points out that if Marcus could be bothered to compile a veterans table he would in fact be leading!
Staying awake and keeping his teeth in are just two of the problems Mark faces during Sunday training sessions.
A diet of hi-strength cod liver oil and glucosamine sulphate could seriously baffle the testing authorities in 2010.

Le Fassett takes the majority of the stick on rides and is most likely to be heard calling his amigo's "gits". A novice athlete he is a member of the local gym and took delivery of his noble steed in February (2009). He is a strong cyclist particularly on climbs and sprints and flat. He is most likely to be found at the back of the peloton complaining that he does not know the route.
