<p>Sunday 28th June should have been a glorious day at Brockwell Lido for the club's Aquathlon. Many of us will be volunteering to ensure another fantastic event and a few lucky members racing alongside other athletes. Unfortunately, as we're all too aware this is not possible due to the current circumstance.</p>
<p>However, we are all able to take part in the <strong>Windrush Virtual Aquathlon</strong>.</p>

<p>Alongside the ViS competition, you can log your Aquathlon efforts between <em>Sunday 28th June and Sunday 12th July.</em> This competition closes on the 12th. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Your 5k and 10k runs will also count on the ViS Running comp as normal.</span> </p>
<p><a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1IMxbQsCXJ4xp2dnmKp7kneNwvF4rmaMjWZR_Xc1MGTY/edit?usp=sharing%C2%A0">https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1IMxbQsCXJ4xp2dnmKp7kneNwvF4rmaMjWZR_Xc1MGTY/edit?usp=sharing </a>;</p>
<p>Points are awarded based on sprint and Olympic distances completed within a 6-hour period. </p>
<p>Sprint - Swim 750m, Run 5km = <strong>10pts</strong></p>
<p>Olympic - Swim 1,500m, Run 10km = <strong>20pts</strong></p>
<p>When combined with a transition of less than 10minutes (brick activity) then bonus <strong>5pts</strong> awarded for either distance.</p>
<p>It is possible to run straight out of the swim at a number of OWS centres. </p>
<p>The winner will not only be crowned in glory but will also be immortalised at next year's live Aquathlon event (when it happens!) full details to be announced. </p>
<p>As always, follow the current government regulations of your country in regards to Covid with social distancing rules and only if you're well enough to partake. If/when swimming indoors rules change and we can use pools again then this will be permitted, no limited to OWS.</p>
<p>Any questions just ask.</p>
