Ladies Captain Update – January 2010

A belated Happy New Year to you all, I hope you have been getting in your winter training despite the recent bad weather.  An enjoyable evening was had by the TSE ladies back in November at Café Rouge in Brentwood.  Hopefully we can make this more of a regular event?

European and World qualifying races now announced on the BTF website and are open for registration. It is not too late to try to qualify for the European Sprint Triathlon Champs 2010 in Athlone, Ireland. However there is one qualifying race left, Grendon in May which is getting full up fast.

Club Membership is due for renewal by 31 January 2010.  Renewal of membership needs to be done on-line via Entry Central.  I understand this year that Membership Cards will not be issued.

Entries are now open for this year’s Mini Series. The entry to the Mini Series is included in your club Membership. Take advantage of these great training races.  Entry for these races should be done on-line via the TSE website.  If you don’t fancy doing all 4 races there is an option to marshall an event which will earn you (one off) 50 points. Marshalls no longer required for the 1^st event but still needed for events 2, 3 & 4.

A couple of changes to race 1 Aquathlon and race 3 –Triathlon have been made this year. Details can be found on the TSE website.

Read more about Mini Series race 3 in the on-line 220 magazine article.

Reminder – Cross Country race this Sunday 31/01/10 at Thordon Park. The postponed cross country event at Hockley may be at Gloucester Park, Basildon on 14^th February (TBC).

If there is any news that you would like included on the next Captain’s update, perhaps you would like to recommend a forthcoming event or share anything of Triathlon interest with fellow female members etc please e-mail me and I will include your item or if it is more appropriate I can send it via my ’TSE ladies’ group e-mail list.
