It is possible to compete nationally as both an individual and as part of the club in the UK National Triathlon & Duathlon League which comprises a long list of events, each weighted according to their difficulty.
(Some - but not all - of these events are included in the calendar of events on this website. Essentially I will only list non-regional events if I find out that that at least one club member is planning to enter. Ch.)
Whether as an individual or as a team your/our best four results go forward - but to compete as a team in any given event we need at least three competitors in that event and you must have entered as an Ipswich Triathlon Club competitor.
If you are planning to do any of these
races then why not take part in the league. It only costs £6 to register. If
you would like to participate, please fill in the attached entry form and send
it, together with a cheque for £6 made out to Ipswich Triathlon Club, to Nick
Collinson at 2, The Shingles, Bredfield, Woodbridge, Suffolk.
(Do NOT send it direct to the league - send it to Nick and he will sort out the
rest.)
We are making a club entry into the Eastern Region Series, which means that all club members are pre-registered for this series at no additional individual cost, provide you enter the individual events as a member of Ipswich Triathlon Club.
The sprint series comprises shorter sprint races; the main series requires you to do a couple of longer distance races (mostly Olympic distance and a couple of duathlons).
For the Eastern Series we need at least four athletes to enter any given event to compete as a team, with the first four athletes scoring. As for the national league, you need to enter the individual races as normal - and as an Ipswich Triathlon Club.
Some races appear in both the national league and the Eastern Region league:
Note that some of the information in the downloads may have been superseded since we received them - for example events may have been added or dates changed. I will try to keep track of any changes in the summary events list.
but please check Eastern Region website for most uptodate versions.
