Race start is at 9.30am. They are expecting it to be a hot day and although water will be provided they are suggesting that everyone also brings their own supply so that hydration  is not an issue.   Triathlon 101 A meet-up for anyone new to or interested in trying triathlon and duathlon Friday 12th August 7pm Regents Park track The triathlon team at the club has grown a lot over the last few years, and lots of people have been expressing interest in triathlon, duathlon and other multisport activities in recent months. The team are hosting a 'Triathlon 101' meet-up this Friday for anyone new to multi-sport or just interested in finding out more. Everyone is welcome, regardless of experience, and there is no obligation to enter any events! We will be answering your questions (some of which have been taken from the team's Facebook page), such as 'how do you train for triathlon?', 'what is a brick session?', 'what is "transition"?', 'what do you wear?', 'do I need a special bike?' and 'what happens when you fall off your bike while clipped in?'. But if you have any other questions or if there is anything in particular you would like us to explain or discuss as a group please email Hannah and we'll make sure it's included: h.j.mcquarrie@gmail.com. We will also use the evening as an opportunity for a short run/bike training session using the running track and Regent Park's outer circle, so bring your trainers and bike! The training is optional, so if you don't want to take part or don't have a bike, don't let that keep you away! You can bring your bags and bikes to the track. Someone will be with our belongings at all times. There is also a very high chance we will relocate to a pub at some point later in the evening.   St Neots transport and extra places A week or so ago 250 extra places for St Neot’s half marathon were released. If you missed out first time round there may be places left. http://15o9.mj.am/link/15o9/9gq413h/a2/YicS6iH9HNL3gQGa_1C4aw/aHR0cDovL25pY2V0cmlldmVudHMuY29tL2V2ZW50cy9zdC1uZW90cy1oYWxmLW1hcmF0aG9uLTIwMTYv It takes place on the 20th Novemeber and is often well attended by Chasers.
