FANCY A DAY OUT IN THE SUN THIS SUNDAY?
|
|
Martynb writes "I have now received confirmation from Halstead Road Runners that we will be manning Water Station 2 which will be at Mubbs Corner the other side of Pebmarsh at the 6 and 18 mile mark.
We will also be dispensing sponges and have the help of some Army cadets. For those that wish to pop along I anticipate that the first runners will be along shortly after 10.30 and the back markers by 2pm.
For those that have said they will help I will be at the Halstead Sports Centre at 8.45 but can you arrive at the Water Station by 10 please.
The forecast for Sunday sounds great for a day on the beach but not quite so good for 26.2!!
Should be a great day though and we will have lots of fun and maybe even sign up a few unattached runners!
Prospective helpers need bring nothing but themselves.
Some of our Tri boys are proposing to cycle over to add support.
To date our remaining runners are;Tracie, Shelley, Penny, David, Ian, James H, James M, John R and Pete Burns who has run every one. Good luck to them all.

Triathlon Transition Training
|
|
wendy writes "Date: Sunday 25 May
Venue: Eastways Industrial Estate (Pizza place end)
Time: 3pm (hopefully for no more than an hour)
With the triathlon season upon us Stuart and I are planning to run a triathlon transition skills session which will cater for triathletes of all levels and abilities. Whether this is your first season or you are an old master we hope you will get something from this session.
The aim of the session will be to build confidence, and hopefully speed, in transitions, but also to pick up and share tips and experiences regarding triathlons generally.
We want to make this session as realistic to race day as possible so please wear and bring with you what you intend to race in; which should include your bike, bike helmet, the shoes you intend the cycle and run in and a small towel.
This will not be a brick session so should not be too strenuous!
Hope to see lots of you there!
Please contact Stuart or myself if you have any queries, either direct or through the chat room.
Wendy and Stuart

Kev had company at Bocking!!!!!
|
|
Lorraine writes "Kev Harper wasn't the only Witham runner at the Bo`cking 5 miler on Monday - although he was the quickest!
Juniors Matthew and Rachel Faires both made their debut at the 5 mile distance, and Dave Payne decided to enjoy a run in the spring sunshine.
Matthew was second Witham runner home in 41:51, almost a minute in front of Dave Payne, while Rachel (the only female Witham participant) finished her first 5 mile race in 46:45.
Matthew and Rachel really enjoyed the race and hopefully will continue to wear their Witham colours with pride."
|
Martynb writes "Following up his victory in the Harwich Discovery 5k last year Kev Harper eased to victory on Bank Holiday at the Bocking May Day 5 in a fantastic time of 29.47.
Having had a nasty shoulder injury last November following a disagreement with a van it is great to see Kevin back to form following several hard months of training. My spies along River Walk often relay to me Kevin's progress and have recently told me that he is moving at considerable speed.
Well done Kevin it wont be too long before Alex is on your shoulder."

Saturday Peloton 3 May, all back to Morrisons!
|
|
davidjobling writes "All back to Morrisons this week although it may be difficult to match weather of last saturday!
The 9.00 peloton will be back for its usual departure at Morrisons this coming Saturday after a change of scenery last weekend including some new rural lanes in North Essex and the discovery of a great new watering hole at the Greenstead Green farm shop, a real find and sure to feature as a future pitstop. It was great to see so many people out. Thanks to Trev for organising this for us although we did become anxious when we saw him looking at a map on more than one occassion but he did manage to keep us clear of any cobbles!!
Another similar new pitstop discovery was made by the 10 o'cklockers who were equally impressed by their pitstop at the Museum of Power caff outside Maldon. Why not come along this week, enjoy the cycle ride and the delicacies on offer??
