2000 Meter improvment marker
Well done to all the older juniors who took park in the 2000 meter session today, the aim was to time you over a measured distance so we could repeat this in a few months and check on your progress. Hopefully with some training next time you do the 2000 meters your times will have come down a little. Here is the current times.

Junior Profile
We are currently looking to improve the junior section of the Triathlon Club. One way we are trying to do this is by gathering as much information possible about our junior members in order to asses ability and create the correct session for each individual. Please can you take 5 minutes to complete the profile form and return it by e-mal or in person by the 5th of November session at St Bede’s. If you did not receive a cope of the profile by e-mail please click here to print your copy. You may also want to keep a copy of your profile in your junior log book so you can update it as you go along. I will add a link in the log book page in case you need to print of any other copies.

Cleveland Triathlon Club's Junior Aquathon - 24th September 2011
Well done to all our juniors members who took place in our junior aquathon. The results are now available here. I have added some photo's to the gallery.

Message from race organizer:
The Cleveland Aquathlon 2011 was yet again another success, 68 Children participated, and all went well. Thanks again to all my helpers, could not have done event without you all. Unfortunately there was a mistake over 3 cells on the spreadsheet, which lead to the Boys Category 9/10 years ( Only ) James Morris being robbed of his 1st Prize. His time of 5.34 was correct, but Finn Kerry’s ( which was done manually ) should have been 5.45. All others were Ok:
1st James Morris
2nd Finn Kerry
3rd Jack Donaldson
Apologies again, and hope to see you all again next year. Regards, Amanda Waller ( Race Organizer)

Prissick Cycle Training - 30th July 2011
This months session at Prissick included a 4k steady warm up around the 1k cycle track with an adult at the front of the group and one at the back. Next we did a 1 lap time trial to determine our handicap time for the next event. While the coach worked out our handicap times we did some cornering round one of the islands to practice putting up our left knee on a left hand corner and our right knee on a right hand corner. When the times were worked out we were set off in our positions for our handicap race. Finally this session we played devil take the hindmost this is where you all set off in a big group and the last 2 cyclists in the group are out until you get the last 2 and then they sprint for victory!
Here are the top 5 for the time trial and the handicap
Time Trial: 1st Tom - 1.35, 2nd Michael – 1.45, 3rd Ffion – 1.49, 4th Paige 2.05, 5th Shannon – 2.11
Handicap: 1st Tom, 2nd Ffion, 3rd Michael, 4th Shannon, 5th Paige
