Ipswich triathlon club is promoting three races during 2008 - Culford, the Junior, & the duathlon.


Culford Triathlon 2008 EVENT FULL - waiting list in place
This year's Culford Triathlon has once again filled up in record time. You can join the waiting list at www.entrycentral.com/index.php?raceID=100027 but bear in mind that it's likely to be a while before anyone withdraws and places become available. The race will take place on Sunday 27th July 2008. The format is the same as last year: 300m swim, 21k bike and 4k run. The entry fee is also unchanged at Ł19 for BT members and Ł22 non-BT.

Club notices

Information for club members is mostly sent out by e-mail & repeated in ITCH
club sessions, club league, Kit, old notices, ITCH archive, committee members, links .

13-05-08	The next Swiss Ball session will no longer be next week (22^nd May) – Greshams are fully booked and we cannot do it on uneven ground outside. The session will now be a “Mystery Run” led by Swiss Tony.
12-05-08	Reminder that this Thursday (15th May) is a turbo/run session. Please let Steve dB know if you are likely to attend but need to borrow a turbo so he can ensure enough turbos are available for those who need one.
05-05-08	2008 ITCH League & club championship. Many league events are now already full but there are still places in the Norwich triathlon (see http://www.entrycentral.com/index.php?raceID=100057) which we are using as our club championship decider. However, please do not leave it too late to enter - this month's 220 magazine included a leaflet advertising the event as part of a wider Norwich festival so I expect this will quickly fill as well. Social event Friday 23 May - Emily Carter has booked 15 places for 8:30 at Temptation Chinese Ipswich (all you can eat buffet). Cost will be Ł10.90pp pay on night (drinks to be ordered separately at the bar, to stop any confusion). E-mail emily.carter@fredolsentravel.co.uk to book your place. First come first served, but Emily may be able to increase numbers if required. Meet beforehand from 8:00 at the Milestone (formerly the Mulberry) opposite the Odeon at the bottom of Woodbridge Road.
02-05-08	Social event Friday 23 May - "Temptation" Chinese buffet restaurant, Ipswich. Make a note in your diary now, further details to follow.

29-04-08	Please note that the Aquathon (swim, run) at Harwich Dovercourt pool late Sunday May 4th is open to seniors as well as juniors - we have been invited to participate in a three-way challenge match against East Essex triathlon club and Harwich swimming/running club. If you are interested in competing for Ipswich triathlon club, please contact Simon with some urgency.

The public will be able to view safe areas of the pool site (no swimming). There will be an exhibition of the pool, competitions, vintage cars and raffle prizes. Entrance is free, but donations to the Broomhill Pool Trust will be welcome. In the evening a BBQ and party will be held at the Broomhill Pool Trust's “worldwide HQ” at Emperor Public House on Norwich Road. Entrance is free, but donations to the Broomhill Pool Trust will be welcome. All proceeds from the BBQ go to the Trust. A special "Broomhill 70th Birthday" souvenir booklet will be sold at Ł2.00 per copy. www.savebroomhillpool.org
31-03-08	ITCH for March 2008 viewable on-line. April junior training day cancelled - there have been very few confirmed bookings for the training programme so far, so Adrian has had to cancel the first training day, which had been scheduled for Sunday 13th April, at Framlingham College. At the moment Adrian is still planning to go ahead with the remaining three training days in May, June & July at Woodbridge School.
14-03-08	This weekend's swimming (+ bike) - Steve dB is ringing people on his call list but please note that tomorrow's swimming will include an option to be counted & timed over 1500m, which is a superb chance to "baseline" this season's training. (At least one lane will be available for people following their own schedule.) Steve & others are then planning to ride the Ipswich duathlon route, starting from the bottom of Wherstead Hill (near the Oyster reach/Ostrich pub) at 10:30. This is an informal ride but they will try and pair people up so you can go at your own speed.
10-03-08	Junior training - see titch section for application form for the programme of four training days timed to lead up to the Framlingham junior triathlon in August 2008. May 4th Junior Aquathon (swim, run) at Harwich Dovercourt pool - we have been invited to participate in a three-way challenge match against East Essex triathlon club and Harwich swimming/running club. If you are interested in competing for Ipswich triathlon club, please contact Adrian.

03-03-08	2008 subscriptions - please make sure you download and return the 2008 application form when joining or renewing your membership (one of the links on the web page had been pointing to an old membership form). Thank you.

Training sessions & other club meets

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.
