Hard to believe it was November at today's training Duathlon, lovely day for it. Well done to everyone who took part, thank you as always to all the helpers and to Barbara for the refreshments. The best improver is tight this year with Mathew and Peter battling it out, Pauline Johnson could yet cause an upset to the result. The next Duathlon (15th December) is the Christmas special so no changes will be made to the improver board as the emphasis is on fun. If you want to stay for food afterwards then bring a buffet contribution, there is usually a raffle as well so if anyone has any raffle prizes to donate bring them along also. Here are today's results 

There was a mistake in the previous post because I had missed a ladies 40-49 result.  I have now revised the spreadsheet and the text of this post.  If anyone knows of any other errors or omissions then please let us know ASAP. This is the grandprix series we are talking about and the athlete with more points than anyone else is Paul Brown.  He has had an amazing season and has consistently been near the top of every leader board.   He has top place in the 40-49 category followed by Graeme Downs and Gordon Mitchell. Graham Currie leads the 50-59 age group with Mark Leach second and Steven King third.  Mark has two ironman results that make up the bulk of his score whereas Graham and Steven made their points on Olympic and sprint distance races. Tony Main has won the 60-69 category and Peter Muir has won the 20-39 category with Scott Young in second place. The top scorer for the ladies this season has been Paige Mcleod who has also been doing great things and is our top junior.  Lois Muir is not far behind her and has won the 20-39 category.  Angela Ackerley has stormed the ladies 40-49 age group curtesey of her Ironman performance in Tallinn.  Caroline Wilson came second with Sue Tindall third. Pauline Johnson has won the 50-59 age group but the most competitive category for the ladies this year has been the 60-69 age group.  Kay Stokes came out winner with Sandra Main second and Tricia Bell third. The full results can be seen here.  Prizes will be awarded at the AGM, date to be announced shortly.

Next week sees the rescheduled Sun City Duathlon which heralds the end of the season.  We can then all take a well earned rest of a month/week/day (delete as appropriate) before we start training for next year. Please take some time to review the results on the grandprix spreadsheet which can be viewed here to make sure that we have entered your results and the entries are correct.  Once the latest results are in we will update the spreadsheet and publish the list of this years winners.  Prizes will be awarded at the AGM, date to be confirmed.

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.
