February Blog From Laura and Pete


Hi all!

Weldone to everyone who competed in the Exeter Triathlon club Sidmouth aquathlon last Sunday. It was another great event- really well-organised, with an enjoyable swim and lovely run route. The marshals were brilliant as usual! Particular congratulations to Neil Castree (for another impressive time!) and Bev Tonks (for the most improved swim and breezing through the run!).

Thank you to Julia Gow Smith and Richard Carus for telling us about your races and keeping us to date! Julia competed in a muddy 15 mile run and came 22nd in the female category. Richard competed in the Bath Half Marathon and finished with a time of 1.33.59. Weldone to you both! 

Big congratulations to Dave and Peter Pickering at the Hampton Court half marathon.  Dave got a PB with 1:24:29 and Peter 1:55:48 (his first half), also James Sands completed the Valentines 10km in 49:25.  Dave, Peter and James are joining us for a Teignmouth 'weekend warrior' training camp in May.

Pete was eager to complete preparation for open water swim sessions before he set off for TriCamp coaching in Mallorca last week.   Now everything is ready to go when he returns. Here is a picture of the rescue board fully painted up.  Excited? So are we.
 
Pete has landed at TriCamp Mallorca and has been working hard with the team to develop his coaching skills. In his first week he has met up with coached athlete David Murray for an half iron-man distance cycle ride. Pete is having a great time coaching out there alongside pro-ironman triathletes Lucy Gossage and Rob Brundish and the rest of the team.  Lucy is preparing for IM South Africa in 2 weeks.  She says "Believe in yourself because anything is possible".  Pete found this useful this morning as the three completed 50x 100m off a 1:30 swim and rest. 
 
An inspirational athlete at camp this week was Alix.  Checkout how she has turned her life around with exercise: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wTb-i2sDl0.

We will keep you posted with news from TriCamp Mallorca via facebook, twitter and email. Don’t forget to email Pete or Laura if you want to have a chat about anything triathlon related. Also, don't forget to book in on a weekend warrior training camp in Teignmouth over the summer.  We are taking bookings NOW. 
Lastly, don’t forget to like us on facebook if you haven’t already!

Happy Triathlon-ing
