By popular demand the games night is back and the main event is going to be the Beetle Drive.  There will be other activities , a quiz and a buffet on the night. No previous experience is necessary as full instruction will be given.  The fun will be at Tennis World and it will only cost you £5 which must be a bargain. Watch this space and your e-mails for further information nearer the date.

A very soggy day today in Middlesbrough so well done to everyone who turned out to compete in our training duathlon. As always thanks to the volunteers who give up their time to make the event possible. Here are the results 

Mark Young put in a great performance at Ironman Wales to secure his place as winner of the 40-49 age group and at the same time become the highest point scorer of all our members.  Although Graham Downs completed ten events (more than anyone else) his score only puts him second in this category, with Gordon Mitchell third. Marty Smith has also been prolific this season completing more than the requisite five qualifying events (plus several others), and comfortably winning the 50-59 age group.  Also in this age group are Steven King who came second and Trevor Kime who came third.  The 60-69 category was won by Graham Currie with Tony Main in second place. Impressively, Paige McLeod managed nine qualifying events while assembling a bigger score than any of her female rivals.  Danielle Colmer came second in the Junior category.  Caroline Wilson has also been a busy triathlete with eight events and winning the 40-49 category in the process.  Angela Ackerley came second. Kath Blakey-Roberts has the biggest score in the 50-59 age group.  Pauline Johnson is in the same position in the 60-69 category with Kay Stokes second and Tricia Bell third. Prizes will be awarded at the AGM on 10th November.  We look forward to seeing you there.

The new club training kit is now available to order on line here 

A few brave soles made the Training Duathlon today in the pouring rain. Thank you to the brave marshals who came along to help out and provide refreshment. I am going to put the results here as it was an adjusted course they can't go towards the best improver competition. Mark Payne - 42:37 Graham Curry - 45:49 Billy Mcleod & Tony Main - 49:05 Abbie Martin - 55:09 Roger Oldroyd - 55:24 Well done to everyone.  

Thank you all for responding to Sandras' e-mail and providing your results .  Here is the latest spreadsheet with all the new information added.  We will give you a week or so to check that we now have all your results listed before we publish the final list confirming this years winners. I have been asked to clarify the rules of the grand prix series which are unchanged from previous years, so here goes: Scores are calculated based on either the male or female winners time. Most events are scored out of 100 but if there is more than one race at the same event then the longer race is scored out of 100 and the shorter race out of 90. Events are generally to be local apart from Ironman distance races which can be anywhere in the world.  All we ask is that you enter as "Cleveland Triathlon Club". Ironman events are scored out of 200 to reflect the additional time and effort required to prepare. Minimum of three events required to qualify for the series Scores from the best five results count towards the total. As part of your club membership we expect you to marshal one of our club events.  You cannot therefore gain points from more than two of our events. Prizes are to be awarded to the best three in each age group at our AGM on 10th November.  We look forward to seeing you there.
