Vitruvian Triathlon  05-09-2009

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JANE!!!   This past weekend, Jane Hinne led the field of Tritons by marking a 'milestone' birthday with a 1st place finish in her AG in a time of 5:37:35!!!  To top off the buzz, Jane was crowned with flowers and plaque by the infamous Ironman, Thomas Hellreigel.  Sue Hilton and Fiona Boxall also posted fantastic finishes-grinding over the gruelling 'Rutland Ripple' pushing themselves to a final time of 5:01:29 and 5:24:47 respectively. Simon Carter led the team for the men, with an outstanding finishing time of 5:46:47.  A very impressive weekend by Team Tritons.  I'm inspired!

World Olympic Distance Triathlon Championships

The performances to add to the ever growing list of Triton honour keep on coming!  The lastest addition is Ciara Fitzpatrick who qualified to represent Ireland at the Dublin Olympic Triathlon!  Ciara has qualified to represent Ireland not only at World Olympic Distance Champs, but ALSO at Standard Distance European Champs!  Double Whammy!  Congrats!

Stockton Olympic Triathlon                    30-08-2009

Peppi-Marie Holder and Andrew Fletcher competed in the Stockton Tri with impressive results! The results just keep getting better.  Despite her thirst for the open water, Peppi finished 'fantastic four' in her age group in a time of 2:38:12!  Andrew competed in the swim leg of a relay team 'Dishpigs??' and smashed a 24:18 swim bringing his team to 3rd place.  Well done!

With immediate effect the club will now have an official ride organiser and a novice ride captain.

Keith Sanders has agreed to become the club ride organiser, while Andrew Edkins has kindly agreed to come on board as our Novice Ride Captain.

In conjunction with the introduction of this new structure, we are trialling a new ride meet point location.

The new ride location will be at the Blackheath Tea Hut/Truck Stop on Shooters Hill at the junction with General Wolfe Road & Golfers Road (South West corner of Greenwich Park).

Will all members please note that as of Tuesday 8th September the run sessions will be based on Blackheath Common, this is due to changes in Greenwich Park closing times.

The meeting place is at the Junction of Pond Road (runs along the front of Princess of Wales pub) & St. Germans Place, with the session starting at 7:30pm

X Terra World Championships 

Massive congratulations to Cedric Lassonde who has qualified for the XTerra World Championships at the O-SEE Challenge in Germany this past month!!  The XTerra event involved a 1500m swim, 36 km mountain bike and 9 km run.  Cedric screamed past several of the elite men to earn himself a 17th place finish over all the men and 2nd place finish in AG 30-34!  What a fantastic result over a very demanding and technical bike course.  We wish Cedric the best of luck as he will be heading to Maui, Hawaii in October to compete in the Worlds.
