Junior results now finalised after minor
adjustments.
Duathlon volunteers needed - Nik Bestow
is looking for more people to help from 7am to 11:30am on the
Sunday (and a bit of help on Saturday to assemble the racking). This is because some volunteers have dropped out which is
taking us below the minimum needed to run with.
If you can help please contact Nik by e-mailing
duathlon@ipswich-tri.org or telephone him on 01473 625070.
Swimming - reminder that Saturday
sessions will be moving back to the pool from Saturday 12th
September. (We're assuming everybody is in Rutland Water on
Saturday 4th.)
Tuesday evenings will continue for now but will be reviewed as
the evenings draw in.
29-08-09
ITCH
for August 2009 is viewable on-line with a host of race
reports and stuff, including new dates for Saturday morning

evening sessions.
There is also news of a free seminar in Colchester which will
probably fill up fast.
Tri-Anglia Eastern Region Aquathlon
Challenge - Saturday August 29th - we've been invited to "send
a male and female team of three athletes and the total time of
all three athletes added together to complete the course is the
team's finishing time. The team with the lowest score wins.
There are no medals, no prizes and no marshals - just the
satisfaction of being the winning team."
Anybody interested in participating/coordinating, please
let itch@ipswich-tri.org
know.

A slightly rushed
ITCH for July 2009 is viewable on-line
including an urgent STOP PRESS about Thursday evening sessions:
due to logistical
issues, the scheduled sessions for tomorrow and next week will
be swapped.
This means that the programme is now:
30th July 2009 - Turbo/run
6th August 2009 - Speed session
Subsequent sessions are unchanged. If you need to borrow one
of the club turbo trainers, please let Dave Copland know on
davecopland@btinternet.com - first come, first served.
27-07-09
ITCH league -
click here (& keep fingers crossed) to see current standings, which
now include eligible Norwich and Culford scores. (I am assuming
that you all adhered to the club kit rule for Norwich; Culford
only counted for Culford first-timers.) As far as I know,
our only Grays entrant scratched, and there may also be a couple
of "longs" still to add in.
There is now a link to the standings up there in the left hand
margin.
IMPORTANT - if you want your London scores processed, let me
know when you're racing so I can find your times. I will not be
able to scour all the files.
26-07-09
Saturday swimming changes
- the pool-based sessions have now finished for
the summer. However, we have been given permission to use the
private, Tuesday evening, open water facility for the summer on
Saturday mornings from 9:00 to 10:00-ish. This is strictly for
club members only, and conditions are as for the Tuesday evening
session - see ITCH for details.

Culford Triathlon 2009
Volunteers - Dave Copland writes:
Thanks to all those who agreed to help at the Culford
triathlon on 26th July and who have replied to my email to
confirm that they will be there. I have names for many of
the jobs but there are still a few important positions that
need to be filled. The race cannot go ahead safely unless I
can get a few more volunteers.
If you are able to help, please contact me on culford@ipswich-tri.org.
All volunteers will get a goody bag and refreshment
vouchers. Thanks in advance.

Norwich triathlon - club championships
Good luck to everybody racing or just taking part at
Norwich this coming weekend. Steve dB plans
to take a gazebo and a club power flag or two (as long as they let him
in to drop it all off!) so we’ll have a base camp for everyone, so keep
an eye out for him.
22-06-09
ITCH League - standings going into July.
I have spent many hours sweating over PDFs and an
increasingly irate PC but I think I have successfully processed all
available data and updated the ITCH league -
click here (and keep your fingers crossed that it works) to see the
full spreadsheet approximately half-way through the season.
Some members have already completed four scoring
events; others have yet to start. But it's already looking very
interesting, with Rick Berry and Julia Green heading up things - and
things can only get hotter as we go into July with Norwich & Grays, and
also a bundle of Longs...
03-06-09
Race reports needed for ITCH - did you race at
Waveney or Newmarket? Can you send me some words?
Thursday club sessions:
4 Jun: Fynn Valley run (off-road, approx 5 miles)
11 Jun: Spin session (not at Greshams;
tell Ross if you're coming)

Suffolk villages charity bike ride - Sunday
14th June - 20/40/80km options - see
www.stowlions.org.uk for
details & entry form.
13-05-09
Club sessions:
14th May - Derrick's Less Mysterious Run (in daylight the mystery is
reduced). 6 mile road run
AND Meantime at Greshams...
John W's "Everything you wanted to know about bikes but were afraid
to ask".
This is a very basic bike maintenance session including how to
fix a puncture, adjust brakes, tyre pressures etc. For those of you
who have ridden in groups, the answer is NOT "I've got the spare
inner tube and Susannah will know how to fix it". No question is too
stupid or trivial.
21st May - Christchurch Park Hills - Enjoy a run round the park with
the added enjoyment of beasting yourself with hill sprints.
28th May - Turbo Run session. Bikes on turbos at Greshams
interspersed with some running round the field. Great bike/run
transition training. Is anyone who doesn't want to do the training
willing to keep an eye on the bikes while people are running?
4th June - Fynn Valley - approx 5 mile trail run. Too light for
werewolf spotting.
06-05-09
Tomorrow's club session - unfortunately Isabel can
no longer lead the session planned for tomorrow's club night so you may
need to do something different.
Club
championship - when I last looked, 27 members had entered the
Norwich standard triathlon. If you intend entering then do it now -
there were only nine places left. See
http://www.entrycentral.com/index.php?festivalID=46

coming to the Greyhound this coming Friday evening, 8th May. (See
ITCH for further details.)

Counties") on the following weekdays.
Tuesday April 7th
Wednesday April 15th
Wednesday April 22nd
Thursday April 30th (depending how tired he feels)
He’s planning to leave about 8:30 each
day and will ride north out of Ipswich on the Westerfield Road. The ride
is c. 120 miles so takes 6:30ish.
Club kit
- the price lists shown on this website are the 2006 price lists - the
prices shown reflect an item-by-item discount. From 2009, kit will
be charged at full cost but, at the moment, the 2009 costs are not yet
known - apart from anything else our manufacturer is in the Eurozone.
However, members are able to "earn" discount vouchers which can be saved
and used to offset the price of any club kit which they buy.
Membership renewal - please make sure you use the
2009 membership application form, and remember to enclose an SAE if
you want Simon to send you a "prompt renewal" club kit discount voucher.
12-01-09
Club championship - the committee has agreed once
more to adopt the Norwich "olympic" triathlon, on Sunday 5th July, as
the decider for our club championships. Entries are already open - see
http://www.tri-anglia.co.uk/NorwichTriathlon/ for further details.
If you enter, make sure you enter the "olympic" (or "standard" distance)
event and not the shorter "sprint" event.
Important fixture corrections
In the calendar attached to ITCH I have been giving the wrong location
for the cross-country on January 18th. It is NOT Bury St Edmunds; it is
at Framlingham as stated in the body of ITCH and below.
See
http://www.stowmarketstriders.org.uk/RaceDiary/SuffolkCountyXC.htm
for pointers to maps.
Also, I had mistyped the date of Gt Bentley half-marathon as 9th
February whereas it is in the Sunday 8th February - see
http://www.gbrc.org.uk/
Wattisham vs Fritton Super Sprint
Wattisham is taking place on Saturday 25th April - see
http://www.wattishamtriathlon.co.uk/ - which clashes with the
Pyrenees training camp and the London marathon that weekend.
Ant suggests Fritton Super Sprint as a replacement for the purposes of
the ITCH league. The "Super Sprint" is the same weekend as the Fritton
Standard event - June 6th and June 7th - so it seems like a good idea -
see
http://www.fritton-lake-triathlon.co.uk/
If enough of you are still going to be doing Wattisham, I can include
both in the league, which will give a wider choice for people not yet up
to doing a standard distance or further. Let me know.
Reminder - don't forget to renew your
subscriptions.
If you renew by end of January (and enclose an SAE when you send your
wads to Simon) you should receive a club kit discount voucher on due
course.
You need to act
NOW if you want to enter the Suffolk County Athletics Association
Cross-country championships at Haughley Park, Stowmarket on
11-Jan-2009. YOU NEED TO ENTER IN ADVANCE and the closing date is
December 19th so please don't delay.
Dave Copland will collate entries and send them off together so that we
can enter the team competition. If you want to enter, please email Dave
at davecopland@btinternet.com with the following information:

Dave will pay for the entries and you can reimburse him at Haughley
Park. Men race over 12k and women over 6k. Please let
Dave know by Wednesday at the latest so that he can get the entries to

Note that we do not currently have a named committee member
for either "Development" or "Regional rep". If you are interested in
taking these on, please contact Mary, Simon or any other member of the
committee. Although Adrian Green [currently
juniors@ipswich-tri.org or via
facebook] has stood down from the committee, he wishes to remain active in
developing our junior members and is more than willing to mentor any incoming
Development officer.
Subscriptions for 2009 - subscriptions remain as now,
viz. family £20, senior £15, junior £5. However, subject to
confirmation by the committee, the requirement to provide help at one event
may be tightened to ensure we have enough people on actual race days as opposed
to setting up.

26-10-08
ITCH league
provisional outcome -
click here to
download as a PDF file - follows manual cranking of Vitruvian results, so
this is really subject to confirmation from all the Vitruvian folk.
As most of you know
this is all a bit unofficial but the “winners” are Dave Copland and Kate
Stannett – both of whom actually scored slightly LOWER than last year. Lucy
Bowditch would have scored higher if she had worn club kit at IMUK which would
have given her an extra place or so. Ross
Weldon may also have done really well if he'd been first claim Ipswich.
The big improvers
are all people who did more eligible events but, based on a quick butchers at my
old print outs, words of praise must go to Julia Yelloly, Amanda Mallett and
John Wankowski. And probably everybody else as well!
14-10-08
The Suffolk Winter
League Cross Country - dates and venues for all six events:
26th October 08 Bury (Nowton

which usually includes at least your first cup of tea après race.
You don’t run with a race number – you are given a ticket showing your
finishing position as you cross the finish line, which ticket you then hand
to Simon who collates.
UK:A rules – make sure you are wearing club kit.
Reminder - nominations needed for committee posts -

London marathon places - we will be applying for club
places for the 2009 Flora London Marathon, for which members can apply. As
in previous years the committee will decide where the places go based on various
criteria such as "did you apply in the open ballot" and "have you already had a
club place". However, we are applying a new "golden criterion" - you MUST
have fulfilled your race volunteer obligations before your application will be
considered.
Reminder - Marshals Urgently Required
for Ipswich Duathlon, 21st September. We
need over 30 volunteers to make the Ipswich Duathlon a success and as of
yesterday morning still did not have enough. This is the last club race of the
year so could any members, especially any who have not yet helped out at a race
this year, please contact Derrick Smith ASAP at
derrick.smith@bt.com or on 07710 105551 to volunteer their help, or that of
a friend. If you are racing then you could bring a friend along to marshal and
watch at the same time.
Reminder -
Saturday morning pool swim sessions resume tomorrow
Club development plan for 2009 onwards - Adrian Green
is drafting the club development plan for next year. I know Adrian wants to
reflect the needs and aspirations of all our members - that's seniors as well as
juniors - so if you have any (preferably realistic) proposals you'd like to

We are short of
volunteers to help with the Ipswich Junior Triathlon on Sunday
24th August from about 9.00am until midday. Many people who
originally offered help are now unable to do so.
If you can help please step forward
by contacting Simon Palmer at
simon.palmer@talk21.com
as soon as possible.
We meet every Thursday night at Greshams Sports Club, Tuddenham Road,
Ipswich. We usually have an
informal
club run or something similar (come ready to START at 7pm - and please
wear appropriately visible kit during darker evenings) and then have a chance to chat
in the bar from about 8pm. Food is available from the bar until
about 9pm.
We also have access to
a local school's 25m pool for Saturday morning swim sessions,
usually during term times - click here
for further details.
