Race for Windrush in our Aquathlon

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

I am new, will I have to qualify as well or do I get a wildcard? I will definitely be there anyway and happy to help if I can't race!

Can I use my peckham parkrun time, or failing that my Brockwell time from back in October? I'm going to struggle to make it over to Brockwell parkrun before the end of April.

See below

Great times Greg. We should really use just the Brockwell parkrun times to keep it fair.

Anyone else got times to submit yet? Once you have done your 500m swim and Brockwell Parkrun please post your times here!

Brockwell Park Park Run 12/3/2016 - 17.35

But I guess that is outside of entry period? I won't get another one in before the marathon and may be destroyed for a little while after that. Can it count?
