Race 3 Results

Well done to everyone who took part in Race 3. The results can be found here. There were some super fast bike splits with Tim Male getting close to the all time bike record held by Dan Corner. After a number of 2nd places Tim also mounts the top of the podium for the first time with an extremely impressive 56m.39s. In second place and only 15 seconds down was Harry Springall who was unlucky really as  his time would have been good enough for the win on most other occasions . Our female winner was Libby Cameron of Met Police triathlon with Helen Smith in 2nd place (no doubt a little tired after qualifying for the Worlds at Little Beaver on Saturday).

Thames Turbo WIN the London League

The call to action came and the members responded. Not only did we dominate the podium at the Jeykll and Hyde duathlon but we also filled the field with red, white and blue (with over 30 members racing). Our friends and London rivals Ful on Tri were a whisker away from taking the 2010 London League title and only a mob match plus overall victory at the final race of the season could prevent this from happening. Well done to Thames Turbo Sigma Sport team members Andrew Mercer and Esther Evans for taking the men’s and ladies title at the Jeykll and Hyde duathlon. We did it!

Holly wins a silver at the National Duathlon Champs

Thames Turbo Sigma Sport team member Holly Tomlinson picked up an age group Silver at the National Duathlon Champs at Milton Keynes at the weekend (5th April).  Holly recorded the fastest time of the day on her Ceepo venom bike (1:07:49 /40km)! All those winter turbo sessions are now paying off and she’s now one of the fastest female age groupers in the country. Congratulations Holly and we’re all looking forward to see what else you can do this year after also finishing in the top 3 overall at the spring Ballbuster.

Thames Turbo is now StarMark and Club Mark accredited

Months of hard work behind the scenes by the Thames Turbo committee has resulted in us being awarded both the Star Mark and the Club Mark accreditation.

Triathlon clubs in England and Wales can work towards achieving one of a number of recognised standards. These standards establish that the club is operating to best practice and is a safe and effective place to take part in triathlon. The benefits of becoming accredited are:

• Clubmark Acknowledgment that the club meets the needs and demands of athletes
• Increased revenue opportunities from new members and/or events and local funding streams
• Safe and effective training and competition environment.
• British Triathlon qualified coaches
• Clear club structures

There are three accreditation schemes available in England and Wales:

• Un, Dau, TRI (Junior clubs in Wales)
• Clubmark (Junior clubs in England)
• STAR (Senior clubs in England and Wales)

The common principles of the accreditation schemes are to enhance the club by providing a clear structure and pathway for club development. Obtaining the accreditation scheme will signify that the club has satisfactorily met a minimum level of standards recognised by triathletes, parents, coaches, Welsh Triathlon, Triathlon England and British Triathlon as a quality Triathlon Club.

More information can be found on the British Triathlon website.
