Racing and training is great (on a good day), but it's always more fun with others!
So rather than just having the official club champs races next year (Sprint - Crystal Palace, Olympic: Sussex), we wanted to get a few more races into the calendar.
Whilst we'll only have prizes for the official club champs races (sprint, olympic and half iron) if we get a good group of us going to the other races then it's more fun, we can share any travel costs and it hopefully helps encourage new members (and oldies) to race.
So this year we're opening it up to nominations which we'll then vote on at the AGM on 14 Nov.
Suggested categories are:
- Mid summer sprint (for people who join the club after CP tri, ideally one that wont be sold out and with an Olympic option)
- I/2 Iron/middle distance (this will be the club champs)
- Iron distance
- Ultra tri (e.g. celtman, triathlon x etc)
- Half marathon
- Marathon
- Summer sportive
- Adventure race
- Open water
- Feel free to propose another category
Please post the name of the race(s) you want to propose, and what category it falls in. Ideally also include a link to the website, and a few bullets on why you think it's great. Then come along to the AGM (Monday 14 November at 7.30pm at Pizza Express) to vote.
- There's nothing to stop people suggesting other races through the year, it's just about getting some momentum around a few key races in the calendar, in the same way that we've done with Fleet Half, Ride of falling leaves, etc.
- These aren't official club races but once they're chosen, if someone wants to help out e.g. approaching the organisers for club discounts, or organising transport in the same way that Caroline did for Fleet, that would be amazing.
