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.

Fantasy Tour de France 2010

So with the 2010 edition of the Tour de France over it's time to look at the performance of the Shurdington Tri club fantasy TDF (powered by http://road.cc/)
Against the odds an invigorated @martyuk71 was El Pistolero with a winning margin of 80 points over the competitor from the lowlands, er Wales not Luxembourg @Stoddy72. Completing the podium is @mbosano a massive 245 points behind the eventual winner. The Lanterne Rouge was Mark and his Kaiser Express team. That leaves @thebooy in peloton mediocrity of 4th spot.
Look at the stage wins and the story is familiar with @martyuk71 doing a remarkable impression of Cav' and crossing the line first on 11 stages, @Stoddy72 is 2nd on stage wins with 6, @mbosano 3rd with 3 just one ahead of @thebooy with 2 stage wins. Kaiser Express failed to register a single stage win throughout the race.

Mazda Blenheim Sprint Triathlon June 6th 2010

Sunday 6th June saw the Blenheim Sprint Triathlon taking place with Shurdington Tri Club representatives in the shape of Nigel and Martin taking part in the sprint. Amelie would make it three musketeers by taking part in the Active Kids duathlon.


Race blogs are to follow from the racers (hopefully) but the results are in:





Nigel in an excellent club performance blew his previous Blenheim time apart by just short of 6minutes and also now holds the tri-club record over the course.
