	Club La Santa Ironman 70.3 - Lanzarote - 24th September 2016 A massive well done to Angela Ackerley who completed the half Ironman distance event at Club La Santa, Lanzarote, with strong winds and long climbs; not to mention it was probably quite warm Angela would have done well just to finish, but as usual she's smashed it and finished 2nd in her age group!! Well done again Angela. added 26-09-16
	Hartlepool Big Lime Triathlon - 25th September 2016 Graeme Downs was first from our club in 1:15:06 followed by Graham Currie 1:19:02, Doug Harris (3rd vet 60 despite a nasty crash near the end of the bike leg) 1:24:38, Gemma Pearson 1:26:29, Richard Kitson 1:26:39, Joe Foley 1:28:38, Scott Young 1:32:03, Vince Blake 1:36:41 and John Sharkey (who was so confident that he gave the other musketeers a five minute head start) 1:36:46. He won’t do that again! The results from yesterday are on the Hartlepool website: http://www.gethartlepoolactive.co.uk/triathlon The final scores for the grandprix series are now being put together so if you think that there are any results missing (Steve King has already pointed out Weardale) then please let us know. - Joe Foley added 26-09-16
	Teesdale Triathlon - 18th September 2016 Well done to our members who took the trip to Barnard Castle at the weekend to compete in Teesdale Triathlon, with an undulating bike course and a cross country style run it makes for a more scenic event. For the ladies we had Kath Blakey finishing 2nd Vet50, Paige Mcleod was 2nd Junior Girl, Katie Scott was 4th Senior Lady, Rebecca Kirton was 4th V35 and Sandra Main was 1st V60 - I'd call that a success ladies! For the men Tony Main was 2nd V60, Peter Ball, Joe Foley and Roger Oldroyd all did really well. added 20-09-16
	Cleveland Team Relays A big thank you to Richard and Linda Hatfield for yet again organising this fantastic event, and also to the marshals who give up their time to come and help. Well done to all the teams that took part some for fun some a bit more seriously! The results are now available by clicking here. added 20-09-16
	Helvellyn Triathlon - Sunday 4th September With a bike ride that goes up the "Struggle" to the top of the Kirkstone Pass (1489ft) and a run up and down Helvellyn (3118ft), Helvellyn Triathlon is quit rightly billed as one of the toughest triathlons in the world (the swim is flat (ish)). I am please to report that we had 6 members tackle the event and succeed, in category order; first was Senior Paul Simpson who finished in a time of 05:29:44, Jeff Belt V40 was next 14th in category in a time of 04:26:48, Paul Williams Vet40 finished in 04:38:04, Alan Johnson also Vet40 finished in 06:32:44, for the ladies we had Jen Milsom Vet40 who finished 4th in her category in 05:21:18, last but by no means least yet another outstanding performance by Tricia Bell Vet60!! she smashed it in 05:11:37and won her category. Well done to you all, I do have to mention though, every club has a bit of a nutter, it seems Jeff Belt is ours as he "warmed up" for the "toughest triathlon in the world" with Ben Nevis fell run the day before, his time for this was 2hrs 29 min's, i'm not sure how far it is exactly but it's roughly up and down Ben Nevis! added 06-09-16
	Castles Challenge Graeme Downs also competed at Banburgh Castle in Northumberland on the 3rd of September, he completed the half ironman distance event in a time of 05:34:10 which put him 17th overall, well done Graeme - top effort. added 06-09-16

	Graham Currie Well done to Graham Currie who finished 9th SuperVet at the Spanish City Triathlon in 01:21:50 and also 4th SuperVet in the Castles Challenge at Bambrugh in 01:25:05. added 05-09-16
	Angela Ackerley Well done to Angela who traveled to Austria to represent team GB AG 45+ to compete in the Challenge Walchsee-Kaiserwinkl, Middle Distance European Championships this weekend. added 05-09-16
	Dave Cole Well done to Dave who came 3rd overall in the Rubicon Triathlon in a time of 03:58:36, there was no first swim due to safety, it was replaced with a 5k run instead. Unfortunately Dave has reported this event was very badly organized (you can see our Facebook page for dull details and would recommend it before entering this event in the future. added 05-09-16
	Grand Prix The grand prix series is really starting to take shape now and many of you have completed the three events that are the minimum to qualify for a prize at the end of the season. Others have completed five events and are therefore more likely to be category winners. Peter Ball, Graeme Downs and Tricia Bell have completed even more events but only the best five will count. The biggest point scorers so far in the ladies are Tricia Bell, Kath Blakey, Kay Stokes, Debbie Clift, Angela Ackerley, Gemma Pearson and Paige McLeod. Meanwhile in the men’s competition Dick Hatfield, Tony Main, Joe Foley, Graeme Downs, David Cole and Sam Syson are currently in pole position, but others such as Scott Young, Paul Williams, Vincent Blake and Doug Harris are close behind. The top three in each age group will be announced and prizes awarded at our AGM at the end of the season. The rules of the grand prix competition can be found on the website. The scores so far can be seen on the link above. There are a few qualifying events left providing opportunities for you to improve your standing in the series.added 31-08-16
	GR8 Event's - Ellerton Lake - 7th August 2016 There were three events held at Ellerton Lake last weekend, an Iron Challenge Open Water Swim, an Aqua Cycle and a Sprint Triathlon, we had a few members out representing the tri club in the swim and sprint events, In the Iron Challenge Swim 1900 meters we had Helen Duncan, in the 3800 meters we had Gill Hale and Gary Dearlove and in the sprint triathlon Tricia Bell led the way for Cleveland Triathlon Club (2nd Lady), followed by Kath Blakey (3rd lady), also taking part were Jonathon Brown, Angela Ackerley, Gareth Roberts and Richard Hatfield. Well done to all of you. added 08-08-16

	Redcar Sprint Triathlon - 31st July 2016 Lovely day to be beside the seaside, well done to all our members that braved the rather choppy north sea to complete this spectator friendly event.

	Changes to BTF rules Please click on the link to see a summary of the BTF rules that have changed for 2016, you all need to be aware of these rules before competing. added 06-01-16
	The Grand Prix 2016 NEW Rules - UPDATE: the provisional list of events is now on the link below, if the 2016 date was unknown the 2015 date has been added - check the dates before entering! At the annual general meeting we discussed some proposed changes to the grand prix series and we have developed the following revised rules: Points are awarded on the basis of your finishing time with respect to the winning time both male and female. Most events will be scored out of 100, but ironman events will be scored out of 200, and super sprint races scored out of 90. If there is more than one race at the same event then the long race will be scored out of 100 and the points available for the other races will be reduced. A list of races and the points available can be found here. The events in the grand prix series are intended to be local although we traditionally include Helvellyn and other events in the Lake District. The ironman does not have to be local or even in the UK. All we ask is that you enter as a member of Cleveland Triathlon Club and you provide details of the race and the results. Other events will be considered for inclusion in the series but we would expect it to be local and sanctioned by Triathlon England. Your best five results in the season count towards your final score. The top three in each age group will qualify for prizes that are usually awarded at the AGM. To qualify for a prize you must have completed a minimum of three events. updated 16-02-16
	IMPORTANT: Club Membership Now the membership is up and running can you all make sure you have renewed your membership, to continue to receive subsidized swimming sessions. Please also make sure that you have the correct e-mail address and phone number in case we need to contact you about pool closures etc. It is a condition of membership within Cleveland Triathlon Club that ALL members marshal one of our events. Year after year it is the same people turning up to help, many of whom are not even club members. We would appreciate that once you have made your selection for the event you are willing to marshal you honor that commitment. Please be considerate to the event organisers who already have a hard enough job to do with out being let down at the last minute. The cost of membership and entry fee's for events are kept low because of voluntary helpers, if we have to start paying for marshals the membership and event entry fees will increase.
