Guys

Following Tristan's departure into married life, and training in warmer climes, we are delighted to announce that we have a new coach on board - Jonathan Hotchkiss.

Jonathan will be on board for the Tuesday swims at the lido for the next few weeks and the wednesday brick bike/run sessions. . . and possibly more. Please do come down tonight and tomorrow for some great training and to learn from an experienced athlete. The lido pool will remain open for the…

... dont pack the wetsuit away just yet.

The lido pool is still open and they plan for it to continue until the first week of October.

Swim sessions will carry on (uncoached) as normal. The pool is almost empty so co come along and enjoy - last night the water was a beautiful 32 degrees ;-)

Hi Windrushers

We are busy trying to secure pool time to replace the lido pool over the winter period to complement our Friday swims at JAGS.

We have tentatively secured Crystal Palace 50m pool on a Monday night at 20.30 for an hour which is great news (thanks to Sue and Louise for this). We are hoping that this will form an important part of the winter training schedule.

Before we go ahead and confirm things though, it would be good to gauge…

Hi Guys,

Just to let you know that the Friday Swim session down at James Allen's Girls School in North Dulwich will be from 7.30pm to 8.30pm starting this Friday 3rd September (thanks to Julia for sorting this out for us). Hopefully this time will be more convenient for more or you, and so should help you maintain your social commitments. ;-)

The session is still with the marvellous Audrey who is a Level 2 BTF coach and has a wealth of experience so now there's…

Hi Guys

I'm selling my wetsuit if anyone is interested. I've always felt it was slightly too small for my height and so I need a new one. It's served me very well and just needs a new owner now.

In great condition - only a few minor cosmetic marks on the shoulder, and ideal for someone needing a mid range suit for the triathlon season.

I would like £75 for it. (Wiggle is selling them for £234)

Ideal for someone 5ft 5 to 5ft 9 and…

Hi guys,

So sorry to do this, especially at such late notice. I'm afraid a shortage of willing and available volunteers has meant tonight's spin session is cancelled.

However the stationary bikes are booked for our usage from 7.30 pm onwards so if you want to make use of them please do so.

If you think you wouldn't mind stepping in on occassions such as this in future to act and cheif time-keeper and session leader please let me, Stuart, Olly or…

Guys

Tomorrow's swim session will be Rich Foulerton's last session at the club. Most of you may not know Rich (as quite frankly he doesn't leave much of an impression), but for those who do know him he's been a big part of the club since its inception a year ago.

Rich is upping sticks and moving to the countryside (Guildford) and so will only continue as an honorary member of the club. Rich has been a big part of helping to set the club up and many of you new…

Dear Windrushers,

We're sorry to say that tonight's spin session at Brockwell Lido gym is cancelled. This is because no-one is available to lead the session. However, the stationary bikes are still booked to us from 19.30 so if you would like to make use of them for your own purposes then please go ahead.

Sorry to disappoint anyone planing to attend.

Incidentaly, if you would be willing in future to step in from time to time to lead this session.…

WINDRUSH WEEKLY UPDATE…

See it's getting warmer... just ready to peak with a one day heatwave on 25th April - which is usually uncomfortable..... but being as how I'll be wearing a banana suit... (I did check whether we were getting a Windrush banana suit option on the kit but apparently not) ..

I've posted the pics from today's training in case anyone has any expert advice on technique etc :)
