Hope you find some good ones...

Individual start times have now been added for the Thame Triathlon, on the Thame event page.  Just click on Start List.  We will be out of the office until Thursday so will not be able to answer any queries until then.  We look forward to welcoming you to the Thame Triathlon at the Weekend!

The Thame Triathlon will be bigger in 2010 than in 2009, with only 70 places left for this pool based sprint triathlon on Sunday 25th July.  Entries closed at Midday on Tuesday 20th July, so don't delay, if you fancy this extremely fast sprint triathlon - enter online today. 

We look forward to sharing this event with you.

Blimey what a week!  We have just arrived home after living in a field since thursday morning.  Despite the one bad weather day (Saturday), we were delighted at the level of racing at the Little Beaver and Beaver Triathlons.  Results for both races are now online, just click the results tab at the top of the page or the results link from the relevant race page. 

We always welcome feedback and we hope that we will see you again at another one of our events this year and back at one of our beavers in 2011.

Happy training... 

Final start lists have now been added for both the Little Beaver and Beaver triathlons.  Check individual event pages for the link (the red box above the news items).  Kepp your fingers crossed for continued good weather and we look forward to welcoming you and over 1250 athletes to Belvoir Castle on Saturday 29th May.

Race information for both the Little Beaver and the Beaver triathlons have now been added to the event pages.  There have been a few changes to this years event on the bike and run routes, so please take the time to read through all the relevant bits of information and we look forward to seeing you on Saturday 29th May...

Whilst writing this the sun has finaly shown it's face, so well done to all who braved the cool 12 degree waters, powered the 23k bike and sprinted the 2 lap 5k run course.  Provisional results are now online.  All queries will be forwarded to our timing team and results will be finalised by Thursday 13th May.  Any questions regarding qualification for either the 2010, 2011 European Championships or the 2010 World Championships need to be directed to the relevant BTF team managers and not us. 

We hope you enjoyed this years Grendon Triathlon and we look forward to welcoming a lot of you back to either the Little Beaver or the Beaver triathlon in just under 3 weeks time.

A quick update on the water temperature at Grendon Lakes.
Having just returned today, the waters are a very pleasant 14 degrees C. Whilst this is no guarantee of the water temperature for Sunday morning, we wanted to let all competitors know that at the moment, things are looking good.
This is the 9th year of the Grendon Triathlon and so far we haven't had to alter or cancel the swim course due to the water temperature (although we know that this doesn't guarantee anything).
The next water test will be on Sunday morning approximately 1 hour prior to the race starts. 

Photographs from this weekends Squires and Spires Cyclosportive are now available to view / purchase at Phil O Connor Photography.

See you at Ride 101...

Still not sure whether we were lucky or unlucky today with the weather?  After being kept awake in a camper van by the rain the night before, I am going to opt for the former.  Of the 700 strong entry field, 570 managed to make the start line, so a big well done to all.  Last riders rolled over the finish line at around 6pm, and the results are now online.  They are sorted alphabetically and we know there are a couple of riders with odd times, so if you can contact us by Thursday we will make any corrections as we make the provisional results final.  We hope you enjoyed our 3rd running of this sportive and after having to change the route at the last minute, we will be looking to make the change permanent in future years with an extension further round the course to make sure we have 80 and 50mile routes.  

With the Volcanic ash disrupting International flights, it meant that our t-shirts arrived at 5.30pm on Saturday night minus about 200 that are currently resident in Amsterdam.  So for those who received their finishers shirt when they finished, we hope you like them and for those who finished but didn't receive their finishers shirt, we will post them to you when they arrive with us.  This won't be until the week beginning 10th May as this week we will be preparing for our next event, the Grendon Triathlon, which is also a World and European Age Group Qualifying event and boasts a very competitive 700 strong field. 

Whilst we received some really good feedback at the event, please let us know your thoughts on an email and if you have any ride experiences then let us know also as this can be really useful when sharing the event with new riders.

And finally, if you like what we are doing with our Cyclosportives, check out our 3rd event on October 9th - Ride 101.  You know you want to!

It's official - Winter is now over.  After the previous 2 dates were cancelled or re-arranged due to bad weather, it was great to finally get this event run.  With the smallest ever field of just over 100 runners, Alex Bowden was the fastest man with Chloe Oldfield taking the fastest woman title.  Results can be accessed via the results tab at the top of the page or via the Wendover event page.  Please email any problems with the results before wednesday (10th march) as results will be finalised on thursday.
