Solmoneth?
What IS he going on about? Well, according to Sandi Toksvig,
writing in the Sunday Telegraph, the Anglo-Saxons used to call
this time of year "Solmoneth" ... meaning "mud month". It seems
just a little bit too appropriate not to use, given that our
race reports include two different New Years mud fests, the
Suffolk County cross-country championships, and an update from
Steve following the Stowmarket cross-country at Haughley Park.
Oh yes, and we have news of a bog-snorkling triathlon...
Next month ... more "TITCH" than "ITCH" - Ady Green
has been busy putting together a junior training event (spread
the word - it will be on April 15th, at Framlingham) as well as
working with John Gabriel on a "code of conduct". Details will
begin appearing on the website over the next couple of weeks.
Cheers - and thanks for all the positive feedback, Ch.

All in all a quiet month... I hope you’ve all
pondered which races you’ll be taking part in this year and
have started entering, as triathlon is getting ever popular
and races fill up quickly. Waveney is a classic example and
filled up within days. Norwich Tri which is our club
championship race is approximately half full with a good
proportion of Ipswich people doing it, so if like myself you
stand no chance of winning, at least it will be a great day
out with so many people in red and black taking part.
Bad news on Woolverstone pool being out of action again.
Keep an eye on the website for latest info, or let me have
your mobile number is you want me to text you.
I did manage to make the cross country at Haughley Park
on the 21st ( although I wish I hadn’t, I didn’t run well)
and once again, good to see so many club people taking part.
It was what you might call a proper cross country course, up
hill, down hill, muddy, windy, and hard work. There’s only
one race left in the series so if you fancy a challenge,
come along to Noughton Park, Bury St Edmunds on the 04th of
Feb for 5 miles of muddy fun.
Thursday runs are going well with a good turnout again
even on the cold and freezing evenings. A slow steady pace
to make sure of no slipping works well (Sue tripped on a
paving slab, nothing to do with the weather), please come
along, the hot shower and a pint afterwards is very welcome,
plus you feel you’ve earned it.
Happy training everyone.

Maldon Mud Run - New Years eve! 2006
What a way to end 2006, running in
the Maldon Mud run! Although not really an endurance event
(300m), it could be referred to an a Mini Aquathlon.
I would recommend this to anyone in
the club.
My team placed 3rd but it was sheer
effort of trying to run in mud - better than any hill
session, low impact.
At one point I had to do a reality
check. I felt like I was sprinting but my body was only
walking. I will be doing it again this year if anyone is
interested let me know.

The 53-12 charity XC - 1st January 2007
Full of bright ideas for 2007, I'd thought I'll start the
year as I meant to go on, so New Years Day saw me drive down
the A12 in the sun to 53-12 for their 5mile run.
Seeing as we met in the middle of an industrial estate
and my geography of Colchester is poor, I'd thought I'll
just run in my normal shoes ... having treated myself to
some new spikes the week before Christmas. "How muddy can it
be" I'd thought. Highwoods Park is just a stroll away from
the shop and, yes, very muddy.
About 50 of us lined up at the start, after Ed had
announced he'd moved the course a little to avoid some big
puddles. Off we set across the open parkland towards the
tracks and pathways around the park into the woodland. For a
small 'fun' fundraiser, it was well supported, and plenty of
marshalls around the two lap course, and lots of new years
day walkers out with the dog all offering their support too.
The open grass areas were hard work and slippery, and
there were some good old muddy boggy areas that I just about
managed to stay upright through. One short sharp uphill took
you back onto the 2nd lap, and I managed to keep the leading
lady in my sight pretty much the whole race which is a
novelty. The tracks through the wooded area of the park were
fairly easy going, before you came out onto the last open
grass area back to the finish and the small cheering crowd,
before going back to the shop for tea and biscuits!
All in all a good friendly 'relaxed' race to start the
year off and fully recommended, although very glad I'd been
fairly sensible on New Year's Eve, declining the cocktails
from midnight onwards...
Claire Page at 53-12 tells us they raised
over £700. The results were:
1st man - Nathan Miller (53-12 Multisport) - 30:58
2nd man - Dave Copland - 31:40
nth man - Charlie Stannett, 45:45
1st lady - Charlotte Knappett (CATS) - 38:55
2nd lady - Michelle Constable - 41:05
nth lady - Kate Stannett - 46:49
Susannah Rosenberg opted for the 5km "sensible" route,
finishing in 35:53. |

Suffolk County cross-country championships - Sunday 7th January
Well you could not have asked for anything
better than this - dark rain clouds scudding across the sky,
a nearby river about to flood and then there was the course.
Vicious descents after sharp climbs, loads of surface water
and much varied terrain. No! cross country running does not
get much better than this!
How did we all do?
Ben Splashett, running for Ipswich
Harriers, floated around the difficult conditions for a
splendid 4th place . Watch out for him in multi-sports this
summer!
Young James Powley had another excellent
run, 5th in u13 boys, just 23 secs off the bronze medal
position and we had complete teams in the mens and womens
events.
Michelle Constable led the womens team in
22nd place, Kate Stannett and Sue Hargadon completed the
team in 39th and 45th position respectively. Anne Fish,
Striders 33rd, Annette White 40th Bounders and Maria
Reynolds, Striders,47th completed the picture. So all in the
top 50! But only doing the 6k course- maybe it could be 12k
next year . I will have a word with the organisers and
remind them of European directives on equal rights
PS - I've just remembered seeing Sarah
(Miller) at the end and missed her out - not used to the new
name yet sorry but you seemed very happy at the end so hope
you had a good run.
Derrick Smith is having a consistently
good season finishing in 27th place with Graham White
slightly over a minute behind in 35th place. Mark Hird,
taking a break from moutain biking just missed out on a top
50 spot was next in 55th. At the other end of the field came
Oliver Calver, Steve Robinson and Charlie Stannett.
But all had an extremely enjoyable time
and you have to admit Charlie it is excellent
training............ Oh yes it is!! |

Suffolk County cross-country championships -
Derrick's report
Last year Derrick's big race was Ironman
Nice - long distance, tarmac & heat. Which had him craving
something a little shorter, on mud, and in colder
conditions. The XC championships were absolutely spot on in
every regard. Even his race report was shorter...
"The club had a good turn out
for the County Championships at Hadleigh in what turned out
to be a tough event. A killer hill in the 3 lap circuit for
the men and a 2 laps for the ladies seemed to get longer,
steeper and slipperier with each lap."

Haughley Park 21st January
Dave Copland scored
his highest position - testament to the benefits of cyclocross.
It was great to see Heather running stylishly after maternity and Steve
De Boltz cruising around after injury.
Iain Downie ran well again for our 2nd place finisher.
Will Newland was a few secs. behind in 74th and Richard Balaam,
returning to form after injury, finished just outside the top 100 at
102nd.

Fancy some Welsh summer mud?
The World Bog Snorkeling Triathlon Championships take place
in Llanwrtyd Wells, Mid Wales on 8th July 2007 (a week after
the Club championships). The race consists of a 12 mile
off-road run, a 120 yard bog snorkel and a 19 mile off road
bike ride.
For anyone who doesn't know what bog snorkeling is, there's
a narrow trench cut into a peat bog. The idea is that you
have to get from one end to the other. Simple, but as the
organisers say, "Conventional swimming strokes are NOT
permitted. Flippers must be used for propulsion only and
hands used for doggy paddle only - any other strokes =
disqualification."
The atmosphere at the race is light-hearted (how could it be
anything else in a race like this?) I think this would be a
great laugh if we can get a group from ITC together for it.
See
http://llanwrtyd-wells.powys.org.uk/bogtriathlon.htm for
more information or contact Dave Copland if you're
interested.

Enough mud! Here's some other stuff...
Club kit
Heather & Nick Collinson have just moved
house. They needed a bigger house to store the club's kit supplies.
You can still contact Heather about kit orders by e-mailing
kit@ipswich-tri.org
but their home
number is now 01473 611582 and their address is
14 Spindler Close, Kesgrave, Ipswich, IP5
2DA.
Heather Collinson
Heather Collinson models
the black & red in the gilet format... |
The club kit represents great value for money and is also
rather contemporary in design. There are a wide range of
garments available to order although I keep a smaller
selection in stock. Feedback I have had in terms
of performance of the kit is good. I wear the cycle shirt
and gillet and both have washed and worn very well. I have
been told that the shorts are comfortable and the jackets
are certainly up to the job during long winter rides. The
one piece tri-suits look great but size- wise are not
suitable for everyone and there are 2 piece suits with
shorts of variable lengths to try. I try to keep the
stock levels of commonly required items up, but more
expensive and less requested items such as skin suits or
thermal jackets are ordered as necessary. Unfortunately when
I place an order we have to have a minimum of 30 items and
each item has to be duplicated in size. this means that is
only practical to place about 2 orders a year. I need to
know well in advance of race season or winter training if
you would like a special items as it can take 2 months for
the kit to arrive.
Contrary to popular belief we do not make any profit on
the kit and in fact sell it to members at less than the
price we buy it for. I try to be flexible regarding
collection of kit and members are welcome to come to my
house by arrangement to try items on. I will post things to
regular members if they are not too bulky. During race
season I will make an effort to come to some local races
with kit if there is demand for it.

including availability as at December 2006 - as a PDF file.

Nick Collinson
Nick Collinson, our Chairman for 2006,
digs in on the
run at 30km in
IM Nice, showing the black & red... |
Why you should race in club
kit One of the
complaints I heard most frequently last year when I was both
chairman and club championship co-ordinator was the rule
about club kit. In 2006 you had to wear club kit to qualify
for the championship. Sadly the same rule does not apply in
2007. Those of you at the AGM will be aware of the views
expressed there on this issue. To be frank I think it’s a
great shame that some club members aren't prepared to race
in club kit. The claim that it doesn't fit are also
ridiculous as there are so many different items of kit to
choose from.
I presume we are all proud to
be members of ITC, otherwise why bother joining. Runners,
cyclists and swimmers don't seem to have any issues
competing in their club's kit, indeed most clubs make it a
prerequisite of competition. Why then do some of our members
still baulk at the idea of wearing our kit for races.
We have a new kit supplier,
so complaints about the kit no longer being of good quality
are totally unfounded. I have been wearing the same ITC kit
for 2 years now and its still as good as new. Comfort isn't
a factor either. I've done Etape du Tour in the cycle kit
and several half-Ironman races and last year Ironman France
in the ITC tri-shorts and tri-singlet. Fit also isn't an
issue. I'm a 6ft 5in bean pole and it fits me. Other members
are shaped quite differently (eg our ITCH editor) and it
fits them. We have such a vast array of kit to chose from
that those with fit 'issues' can choose from; a running
vest, a tri-singlet, a tri-suit, a cycle jersey, a t-shirt,
a gillet, a long sleeved top. I've seen members race in all
of these, there really is something for everyone and its all
club kit!
Finally its not about making
money for the club. The kit is heavily subsidised, so you
are most unlikely to get better value anywhere else. For me
its about being proud to be a member of ITC and to show
that, when we are racing. Its great kit, and highly visible-
we receive many compliments from other clubs on the design.
Come on, let's promote our
club!

Simon Lockwood shortly after getting off
his bike the hard way... |
Are you new to the club - let me have
a few words & a (small) photo and I'll try and include them
in future issues of ITCH...
Introducing Simon Lockwood...
This picture was taken 85miles into the
dragon ride in Wales. Five minutes before
(or was that after? ed.)
this picture I was thrown over the handle bars when my legs
locked out with cramp.
Mad! So I've booked to do it again this year
ha ha!
Ok - I'm a new member. I started running five
years ago then cycling three years ago. This year will
be my 3rd London triathlon. I've done Norwich, Clacton,
Ipswich duathlon.
I time trial for Stowmarket cycle club, now I
can run race and triathlons for Ipswich tri -,just love the
feel of competition - such a buzz being involved and around
people who all have person goals!
Feel I've wasted so many years not knowing
what I want out of life but now I feel I have!

John Gabriel
John Gabriel reviews the Quest Como
wheelset... |
On Test – Quest Como Wheels Needing a new set of
training wheels so I could use my new cyclo cross bike for
winter training I was quite taken by the Como wheelset
available from Quest Bikes. Deep rims and bladed spokes at
£59.99 for the set seemed too good to be true but having
used the wheels for some time now I must admit they are a
bargain.
Based on a 30mm deep rim the wheels come laced with 20
spokes in front and 24 spokes in rear, the spokes being an
impressive black stainless steel bladed variety and radially
laced in front wheel making it more aerodynamic. The
freehubs are Quests own brand but seem fine so far and the
braking surface is very well machined.
They are available in Shimano (£59.99) or Campag (£69.99)
depending upon your preference + £10 for postage (mine came
next day!).
Would I race on them – depending on the options of your
other wheels I possibly would although they are slightly
heavier than others at 930g (front) and 1220g (rear).
In short an ideal set of replacement wheels to save your
good ones or a decent set of deep rims wheels at a bargain
price. They were also tested in Cycling Plus recently and
were given 10/10 – quite impressive!
Available from Quest Bikes at
www.questbikes.co.uk or 0208 427 5454
You can contact John Gabriel on 01394

Some club news you may have missed during January
Entries are now open for Culford -
this will count toward the ITCH league but please remember we need
volunteers to make it happen so if you are doing it, ask a friend to
volunteer on your behalf.
And if you've already done it a few times...
Have you renewed your membership? If
you've lost your form,
download another copy

(If you're a senior member you need only print & complete the front of
the form. The additional information on the rear of the form will be
needed for any junior members. Membership subscriptions continue, in
effect, to be subsidised by the events we hold which is why you must
undertake to help crew at least one of our events as part of your
membership subscription.)
Swimming cancelled until further
notice - Woolverstone pool has had to be
closed because of contaminated water. It remains shut until further
notice. We will try to give good notice on the website and/or by
e-mail but let Steve dB know your phone number if you want to be on his
ring-round list for last minute updates.

Don't f orget
the club training sessions on Thursdays at 7pm at Greshams, Tuddenham
Road, Ipswich - the sessions vary from week to week depending
on who is offering to lead them but they will always cater for the
abilities of the people who turn up. (And if you can't make the
training, then why not join us for a beer or some food from about 8pm
onwards.)
08th Feb - Drill session on grass area outside club
(as long as we can get the lights on).
15th Feb - Hill session on Valley Road
22nd Feb - 4.5 mile run on level ground

Open water training
We have received a
downloadable poster from Graham Perks (Essex Police
Triathlon Club) about Open Water Swimming Sessions at Gosfield
Lake, Near Braintree, Essex.
 |
Open Water sessions will
begin at the lake in late April on Sunday mornings between
6am - 9am. Each session would cost £4.00.
The lake is an excellent
venue and provides the ideal circumstances for those open
water novices as the lake is approx 5ft deep and therefore
the majority of swimmers would be able to put their feet
down. For more information on the venue please go to:
www.gosfieldlake.co.uk
If members would like to be
placed on the email circulation list for the swimming
sessions please e-mail

(Miller) & I got married on 29th Dec as
planned & despite a few last minute hitches
(e.g. the original minister being taken into
hospital & getting a replacement with a
strong Geordie accent & comedy tartan "troosers"!)
it was a wonderful day & I really love being
Mrs Miller!
I am
attaching a picture for you to include if
you have space - there were so many it was
hard to chose! Digital photography is a
marvellous thing - it was still strange
looking at the pictures at the reception
though!!"
All of which begs
two questions:
- how did
Sarah meet David when he's always at the
pointy end of the field while Sarah is back
chatting at the social end?
- has Sarah
made David a second-claim member under the
family membership deal?
We all know that
David runs first-claim for Woodbridge - but my
spies tell me that David will be seen at the
London triathlon...
Best wishes! |
