We’re very keen to build a substantial and successful club. We want to welcome athletes of all ages and levels of ability, so readers of this should know that you will be made very welcome indeed and so shall any of your fellow-triathletes, family and friends. Our aim is to have a club that is inclusive and competitive; enjoyed by its members and respected by its rivals; supported by a big swimming club but independent in its own field.

Well done to everyone who took part in the races yesterday! Hopefully you all enjoyed your time and the cakes that Matt so vigorously advertised! After such great efforts, Im sure they helped recover! Thank you all!

Our second children race of the year is coming, but this time it’s going to be a triathlon. We are also organising an adult aquathlon on the same day.

We will keep the same children categories as our previous aquathlon (Tri it and Challenge) distances, adding the tristart category for 8 years old. It will be in the standard Swim-Bike-Run format and is open and encouraged to children of all abilities between 8 and 16 years old.

Our second aquathlon of the year is coming, but this time it’s going to be an adult only race. We are also organising a children’s triathlon on the same day.

Quite a few of us took part in the ITU Hyde Park Triathlon last week-end.

One year before the London 2012 Olympic Games 4,500 participants took part over the weekend and raced on next year’s Olympic venue! Well done to all D3 members, let’s hope we all make the Olympic squad with our results!
