	Ironman UK Massive well done to Mark Dawson and Jeff Belt who completed Ironman UK last weekend. Jeff finished in 11:09 despite a few ‘stomach’ problems on the run and Mark finished in 11:58(1.08 swim, 6.26 bike and 4.14 run) despite having a crash on the bike! Sounds like you both did well to finish! Great Stuff. added 27-07-14
	Triology Super Sprint Triathlon - 23rd July 2014 We had several members taking part in the first ever Triology Super Sprint Triathlon at Ellerton Water Park. A great little event 400m open water swim, 15.5k bike and 2.2k run around the lake, well marshaled and organized and good value for money. Watch out for the next in the series on the 13th of August at Triology. Well done Tony Main, Sandra Main, Kay Stokes, Steven King, Dick Hatfield and a big well done to Paige Mcleod as it was her first "proper adult" triathlon and she finished 13th. added 24-07-14
	Cleveland Steelman - 19th July 2014 - RESULTS Well done to all our members who took part in the Cleveland Steelman last weekend. The results are still not finalised so I wont add them until they are but a provisional copy can be found at www.trihard.co.uk. It sounds like it was a bit of a wet one which I always think is worse for the marshals and organizers so a big thank you to the marshals and Sandra Main for organizing the event. As always we have had lots of positive feed back so we shall look forward to seeing you all next year. 20 club members competed, well done to Jen Milsom who was 1st Vet40 in a time of 05:15:18, Angela Ackerley was 2nd vet40 in a time of 05:36:54 and David Cole was outstanding and finished 1st open male in a time of 04:40:20! updated 24-07-14

	European Triathlon Championships - Kitzbuhel - 20th June 2014 We had four club members representing our country, they travel to Kitzbuhel to take part in the European Triathlon Championships and they all did fantastic. Mark Young who raced in the M40 age group finished in a time of 01:11:18 placing him 6th in his category, Kath Blakey was in the F50 age group and finished in a time of 01:25:59 placing her 7th in her category, Angela Ackerley raced in the F40 category and finished 22nd in a time of 01:27:33 and finally Katie Scott raced in the F25 category and finished 21st in a time of 01:30:08. I think local athlete and 2nd claim member Paul Brown is worth a mention as he picked up gold in his category (M35) in a time of 01:08:29 finishing 28th overall in the whole event, quite remarkable after coming out the swim in 170th! Well done to you all, it sounds like it was a hilly technical bike course with tough competition. added 22-06-14
	Keswick Triathlon - 15th June 2014 It was a very busy weekend in the world of triathlon and we had members far and wide. Slightly later in the season the usual was the Keswick triathlons, hope it made for a warmer swim! I'm told the weather was great but due to a low water level there was a longer run up to the transition area than usual. In the long race we had Graham Downs 57th overall, 25th Vet40 finishing in a time of 02:28:35, then we had Kay Stokes 173rd overall, 3rd Vet40 finishing in a time of 02:47:28 (not bad with a knee and shoulder injury!) finally in the long event we had Shaun Joughin 184th overall and 69th Vet40 finishing in a time of 02:49:04. In the shorter race we had Jonathan Quain who was 14th overall and 6th Vet40 in 01:15:59. Well done to you all. added 16-06-14

	Grand prix 2014 - The Rules! There are a lot of new members in the club who may not know about our grand prix series, and as we have tweaked the rules a bit then we thought it best to clarify matters: Points are awarded on the basis of your finishing time with respect to the winning time both male and female. Points scored in ironman events are doubled. This is in recognition of the huge time and energy commitment that this requires, and the fact that this makes it much more difficult to fit in “normal” events. 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. 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. If you are entering (or have entered) a local event that is not currently listed on the grand prix schedule and you want it to be included then please drop us an e-mail for consideration. added 30-04-14

	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. The links for both adult and junior membership can be found on the left hand side of this page. 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.
