Although the Tri season hasn't kicked off just yet March saw the clubs first multisport victory as Helen took 1st place at the Exmouth Aquathlon. With Rosemary and Fiona finishing 3rd and 5th in the same race it's looking like a very promising 2009 for the girls. After a few quiet years the ladies side of the club booming at present the clubs male top performers are no longer going to have to work very hard to keep the headlines and top billing when the race reports are coming out this year.
Chris is always good for a challenge though and his fine 2nd place overall at the Devon Duathlon showed that the oldies (he won 1st Vet too) aren't willing to give up and let the girls get all of the headlines.
April gives club members the first chance for Triathlon glory and ego massage with the annual NDTC In-Club Tri. The very casual and unofficial event which gives members that all important chance to practise their transitions, try out that new bike position and of course compare yourself against their clubmates. That alongside more swim/run events will hopefully have more 'Team Green' members collecting silverware.
Training
Coach Toasty's sunday swim sessions are still going from strength to strength at Barnstaple Baths 9:00-10:00am (£3 members, £4 non members), followed by Tim's track sessions at Braunton Track from 10:30am.
People attending Track Sessions from now MUST buy a 12 month track permit . Unfortunately this is something that is out of our control and is a rule set by the North Devon Track Committee. If you're looking for some speed though they're well worth the money.
The NDTC Goldcoast Beach Aquathlon is coming. 20th June 2009. Just £15 for the 1000m/7.5k swim/run event, the price includes entry into the GoldCoast Festival. Value for money beyond compare.
