Training Duathlon, Prissick Base, Marton Road, Middlesbrough - 27th April
This will replace the training session for the 27th April. As our adult training duathlon's are hugely successful we have decided to run a junior one. There will be a choice of two distances. Start at 2pm prompt, arrive at least 30 minutes before to put your name down, get your number and set up your bike. £2.

Message from Hetton Lyons Duathlon
Unfortunately due to lack of entries to date we are cancelling the Duathlon at Hetton Lyons on the 28th April. My apologies to those who have entered and a full refund will be given in due course.
The two remaining open water triathlons at the venue are still open for race entry and will go ahead providing sufficient numbers are achieved.
Early entry into youth events is vital to allow sufficient numbers for the race to function and cover the cost of the necessary planning and safety cover required, which is substantial for an open water draft legal race.
Please ensure that you enter events as early as possible if intending to race by logging onto the Tri-Hard entry live site.

North East Junior Grand Prix Results
Here is a full copy of the North East Junior Grand Prix results, we have had some outstanding performances this year from our juniors, Victoria Bladon and Rachel Murray had top 10 finishes in the T1 female category, with Sam Dixon taking 5th in the male, Ffion Lanigan finished 1st in the T2 female, Paige Mcleod finished top 10 in the T2 female and Archie Johnson finished top 10 in the T2 male and Bethany Eaglesham was 4th female youth. Well done to you all.

Junior Challenges
We have decided to put together a junior challenge table, it will work by setting the juniors up to two challenges each session from which you can score points, these points will be added to a table along with a point for a pb and a point for the most improved pb. We will run this for the rest of this year and then start again in 2013. Highest scoring juniors will be given a reward at the end of the year at the christmas party. The improvers group will be doing challenges such as 400m swim time trials and 5k bikes and the fundamental group will be doing things like 50m runs and how slow can you go. Every two months we will run a junior duathlon at Prissick which you can also gain points for. The points chart will be permanently displayed at the top of this page so everyone can keep track of their positions.

Extra Cycling Sessions
From Friday 26th October we will be meeting at Prissick between 7pm-8pm for some cycle practice. Please arrive by 6:45pm. The track is lit but extra lights might be useful. There will be two coaches there to deliver a session suitable for juniors over 12 and adults of all abilities. This session is free. In the summer months we will be looking to hold a run session before the cycle.
