Welcome

Alnwick Tri was formed following the success of the first triathlon in September 2004 at the Willowburn Sports Centre. It has quickly become the largest triathlon club in Northumberland.

Alnwick Tri caters for novice triathletes or those wanting to try the sport for the first time, as well as more experienced triathletes. If you're interested in trying out the sport or joining the club, you're welcome to come along to any of our training sessions.

Social half-ironman / social night

Its that time of the year again

End of the season, maybe you're thinking about going longer next year, but aren't sure whether you can manage the distance?

Not interested in going long, but fancy a curry with your club mates?

End of Summer training :-(

Last night's TT was the last of the year. There'll probably be two more open water swims (2 & 9 September) so anyone racing Newbiggin can get a couple of last swims in. I'm checking opening times with the country park - at the moment, the park closes at 8pm, which allows time for a swim. If this changes, the sessions will be cancelled, so keep an eye on the web-site for the latest news.

Kielder Marathon - cyclists wanted

Steve Cram has contacted Gosforth RC about the Kielder Marathon weekend requesting bike riders who wish to be part of this weekend either as outriders or to compete on the Saturday. If you fancy being part of this weekend please let Peter Harrison know ASAP so that he can pass your details on to the organisers. Please also pass this onto any other clubs you may be affiliated to either as triathletes or running clubs

Sunday 17th October: Essentially, we require 4 – 6 riders to guide the runners around the route, they will be spread out amongst the field, with 2 riders at the head of the race with the leaders, 1 or 2 nearer the rear of the field, (they may want to take it in turns as will be at a much slower pace) and 1 or 2 within the field with walkie talkies, relaying the progress of the race etc. We will require up to 5 others on bikes to patrol a section each, these will be linking in with communications back at the base, reporting on the progress of the race and any injuries etc.
The marathon is due to start at 9.30am so ideally we would like them there by 8.30-8.45.
A small contribution will be paid and they will be provided with food.

Saturday 16th October: We will require 4 on Saturday if possible for the Run-Bike-Run event to do the same kind of thing, though the event will be a lot shorter. Timings are yet TBC. Possibly looking at starting the event at about midday so they would need to be there from 11-11.15am. In terms of paramedics, there will be plenty of mobile doctors around, so those riders with the walkie talkies will be in contact with them to report any injuries, so ideally it would be good for them to have some medical training but the doctors will be able to access the area where they are required.
There are about 20 teams already entered for the Run-Bike-Run event, but if you have any interest for the event, please get your club members to enter by visiting the event website.

To volunteer, contact:

Super-sprint triathlon

Last night saw the final round of the super-sprint series for another year.

Andy Wilde led out of the swim and increased his advantage on the bike, only to be overtaken on the run by Richard Bewell.

In the ladies category, Tracey Sample had a comfortable win for a clean sweep in the series.

Wensleydale Tri

Siobhan got to the end of Wensleydale Tri - that was the first surprise - with energy to spare after the extremely difficult bike leg - AND really enjoyed it!

The tri consists of 1800m lake swim, 42miles of extremely steep hilly biking, and 12 mile fell run.

Siobhan came 6th in the women:
43:21 (5:50), 4:18:42, (?), 3:09:14...8:17:08

Super sprints

The last couple of Thursday nights have seen our traditional super-sprint series taking part at Druridge Bay. Next Thursday (12 August), is the last in the series - the triathlon. The race will be a 600m swim / 10k bike / 3k run and kicks off at 7pm.

Couple Challenge, Newbiggin

Helen Jones and Ian Simon were representing the club at Saturday's inaugral Couple Challenge.

The event, put on by the lads at Tri-Northumberland, was a (slightly short) half-Ironman distance race, featuring a 2-lap sea swim round Newbiggin Bay, a 2-lap cycle to Amble & back, followed by 4 laps round Newbiggin for the run.

There's an excellent race report here, and with Helen taking 2nd place and Ian third, we both get mentioned.

More bling for Emma Pearson

Well done to Emma Pearson, who picked up a bronze medal at the National Aquathlon champs at Salford Quays on 17 July.

The course was a 750m o/w swim, followed by a 5k run. Emma clocked 12:54 for the swim, through transition in 46 seconds and finished off with 19:23 for the run. Her total time of 33:05 was the fifth fastest female, third in the 25-29 cat.

Teesdale Triathlon 2010

Jock Bolam, Tracey Sample and Sue Bolam travelled to Barnard Castle on Sunday to take part in the reinstated Teesdale Tri. Not having been run for the last 3 years, Darlington Tri club took up the challenge to put on the event. The race consisted of a 400m pool swim, followed by a gruelling 17.5mile bike course with a 5k multi terrain run to finish off.

Supersprint series

Quick reminder that the supersprints start this Thursday at Duridge. First one is an aquabike, which is a fairly unusual event in the UK, so good chance for all the swim-bikers in the club to vie for glory.

We'd appreciate the help from anyone who wants to come along to assist - we'd normally have a couple of people to time / shout out positions.
