The following presentation has been put together by the Triathlon section of SAC.The idea is to give a better insight and recommendations for fellow club members on some good quality multi sport events.

If you do enter any of these events, can you please inform Jon Brook(jonathanbrook.home@gmail.com), and then he will update his internal participant SAC list. This will help for anyone who wants to car-share or train together for a specific event. (Plus it will help bond club members). Go on, enter a race or two, maybe you will surprise yourself and really enjoy it?

Event; Goodwood Duathlon - just checked and it is sold out, so well done to those that entered earlier as per the previous noticed :o)Date; 24th March 2013Distance; 4km run / 24km bike / 4km run or 4km run / 40km bike / 8km runCost; £19 (BTF) £23 (non BTF)

Description; Where else can you race on the same circuit as Sterling Moss and many other famous race drivers? Both run & bike sections are carried out on the Famous Goodwood Motor Racetrack (closed circuit), therefore no cars! As the course is very flat PB’s can be achieved and it is safe.NOTE; This event is limited to 160 racers, therefore early entry is requiredWeblink; www.portsmouthtriathletes.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&task=blogcategory&id=26&Itemid=28

Event; Time Trial – 5mile, SteyningDate; 9th April 2013 at 6:30pmDistance; 5 mile bikeCost; £3.50

Description; A local weekly event held by Brighton Excelsior Cycling club. You don’t need the latest cycling equipment, just turn up at the car park near the Steyning Health Center off Tanyard Lane 45min -1hr beforehand and register, get your number and ride on the Horsham Road off the A283 heading towards Partridge Green as fast as you can for 5 miles. Roads are safer than the A283, its good practice for your bike related events later on in the year. Remember its about YOU vs the clock…http://www.brightonexcelsior.co.uk/index.php/club-tt-events

Event; Steyning TriathlonDate; 5th May 2013Distance; Sprint = 400m swim / 20km bike / 5km run Standard = 800m swim / 36km bike / 8km runCost; Sprint £40 (BTF) £44 (non BTF)

Standard £44 (BTF) £48 (non BTF

Description; Our local Tri event! The swim will be at the leisure centre, the rolling bike course will be on the A283 and A24, which is regularly used for local & national time trials then finally the run is down to Bramber round about and back (but the Standard distance also heads to Wiston House before). OR why not do a team relay race ??? Weblink; http://www.rawenergypursuits.co.uk/events/triathlon-duathlon-aquathlon/bloc-steyning-triathlon/

Event; Chichester TriathlonDate; 19th May 2013Distance; Standard = 1500m lake swim / 45km bike / 10km run £36 (BTF) £39 (non BTF) Sprint = 750m lake swim / 23k bike / 5k run (£25 BTF or £28 non BTF)

Tri it = 250m lake swim / 9k bike / 2.5k run (£15)

Description; Westhampnet lake is the base for our first series of complete triathlons for 2013.  The flat waters of one of Chichester's largest lakes should produce some swim PB's. The South downs national park will give competitors a small taster of some of the most exciting biking in the home counties. The flatish rural trails/paths/roads that make up the run should give potential for another PB split. Weblink; http://triitsports.co.uk/event/chichester-standard-triathlon-may/

A few members have expressed a level of “interest” to do a full Ironman distance (2.4mile swim, 112mile bike and 26.2 mile run) in 2014. The event location has not been decided yet, other than it will be a flat fast one and it will be in Europe. You have 17 hrs to complete it in, so easy right ???? :o/ So far the names are;

Sue Ford DunnJoan LennonMark TylerSimon TurkGary Brind

If you have seen Ironman on TV, there are people aged 80 or have missing limbs, so no excuses for you budding

Please contact Gary Brind gb@owolff.com should you be interested as it would be good to have a big crew training together / motivating each other ? (need some training hence why we are aiming at 2014 and not 2013…)
