Would you like to race for Windrush in our Aquathlon on 26th June 2016?

In addition to the few places for newbies reserved at the Aquathlon this year, we're keeping 6 extra spots for the 3 fastest males & females that want to represent Windrush at the race.

This is part of our effort to improve our performance in the London League. Other clubs do the same in order to get as many London League points as possible at their home races.

In order to qualify for a spot, you must complete the following:

Qualifying timeframe: From 26th March - 30th April

  • Complete a 5km Brockwell Parkrun (verifiable through the parkrun website)
  • Go to any Saturday Lido or any Indoor Swim session and perform a 500m time trial - ask another Windrush member or coach at the session to time you and vouch for you. Note: Lucy will also post dates where she plans to include time trials as part of the Tuesday morning Swim sessions
  • Post your times in this thread and the 3 fastest combined times from each gender will qualify.

You can have multiple attempts and the run/swim can be on separate weekends.

At the end of April the 6 fastest racers will pay for their slot through the website. If they don't within a week, we'll rolldown to the next fastest.

Please do let me know in the comments below if you have any questions at all.

Good luck!

Nick

If anyone needs to do the swim part you could come along to Sunday uncoached swim as I'm coaching one of the junior lanes and happy to verify times at the same time!

My gosh, we've got some speedy runners!

Bump!

2 weekends left to submit times to qualify!

Not sure I can this year with other trainingprep/races/travel taking up time. Would one day love to do this race in front of the home crowd as it's awesome! I'll be there to support ;) Hope you managed to get some times?

Brockwell park run 9/4/16 22.11 (or if we are allowing old ones 20/2/16 20.19)

Tuesday swim (verified by Lucy) 8.44

Just a few more days to go...
I am hoping we have a few more women enter this, come on girls! I'll put my times in too - 22.35 at brockwell parkrun on 26th March, and 8.57 500m verified by Nick himself today.
Yeah! Come on Windrush ladies. I want to be cheering my club mates on the day. Let's get those times in. Don't be shy, you'll have a whole club giving you support on the day.
We haven't got any men yet have we? Come on men!
This year will be the 5th anniversary of the race and hopefully our best ever. Can you imagine more support that at your own club race? Each competitor will get a special medal, t-shirt and anniversary gift. All volunteers will also get the anniversary gift. This might be your only chance to race at this race...just saying.....
I think Greg volunteered but he can't get across to do Brockwell Parkrun this month because of other commitments including races.

Having watched him go sub 17 at Peckham (which is not exactly flat either) when timekeeping I personally don't think it would be unfair to give him one of our places.

Really looking forward to it now and IF you haven't volunteered (yet) you are going to miss a great day out!!!

I did it last year (I think I got in by default)  and it was loads of fun! Its worth submitting a time...
