Swimming
Saturday pool session on September 24th is a one hour session, starting at 9:00.
We regret that the pool is NOT available on Saturday 1st October.
With effect from October 8th, the session cost will be £5, but we will be reverting to TWO-hour pool sessions, running from 8:00 to 10:00. (The first 30 minutes of the third Saturday of each month will normally be given over to widths sessions for our juniors. Please contact Isabel if you intend coming to these juniors sessions so she can plan accordingly.)

Tri-Yoga Season 2 with Joan Stonehouse
Those that attended the Season 1 classes already know that Joan gives clear and precise instructions with excellent demonstrations, keeping a light but focussed atmosphere.
We have five dates, starting on the day the clocks go back (so you won't be out on a long ride):

  • 30th October 2011

  • 27th November 2011

  • 11th December 2011

  • 15th January  2012

  • 5th  February 2012

All sessions are on Sunday afternoons from 4:00 to 6:00 pm at Friends Meeting House, Fonnereau Road, Ipswich. Put them in your diary now! Whilst attending one class will help you, attending the full series will pay dividends as you learn more techniques and progress to advanced postures with regular practice.
The maximum class size is 25 people.  Places should be booked in advance with Susannah by e-mail to
susannah@ipswich-tri.org - there is priority booking for Ipswich Triathlon Club members, but if places remain two weeks before the class, these will be open to family and friends of members. The cost per class to club members will be £5, non-members £8.

Ple
ase send any committee nominations to charlie@ipswich-tri.org by close of play Thursday 27th October (and preferably before Thursday 20th which is when the committee next meets so we know whether we need to start twisting arms!), similarly any proposed changes to the constitution.

Club kit - if you are interested in ordering a HOODY please contact John Wankowski a.s.a.p.
Also - please remember that any kit vouchers issued during 2010 will expire in December this year.

County cross-country championships
The Eastern Athletic Association 2011 Cross Country Championships will be on Sunday 27th November, at the Royal Hospital School, Holbrook. Unlike the league, this has to be entered in advance on a team basis - so we will need to have a named co-ordinator to make sure everything is done. If you are at interested in taking this on please let me know a.s.a.p.

Fritton Lake Standard triathlon results?
If you did Fritton Lake standard race and if you want your time taken into consideration for the informal ITCH league (which is only informal anyway), let me know your name, bib number and position/time by close of play Thursday 13th October.


07-Sep-11 ITCH League - current standings after events during July and August - now available as a PDF.
It does NOT include scores from IM Frankfurt yet, nor have I yet received a file for Frinton Standard.

Saturday morning sessions at Wolverstone pool - September

10th Sept 8-10am (early start for 30 minutes or so of juniors width work - this has been brought forward from the 17th to avoid clashing with some activities linked to the Tour of Britain)

17th Sept 9-10am

24th Sept 9-10am

Open water swimming

Consensus is that the “secret location” is now too cold/dark/weedy to continue for this year so that’s it for 2011. Hopefully we’ll get the use of the site for 2012, but don’t turn up on spec - it won’t be unlocked.

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.
