News report taken from www.triathlonlondon.org - “British Triathlon is proud to announce that the Thames Turbo Sprint Series has been awarded the new and exciting Event Qualitymark Level 1. The new programme is part of British Triathlons drive to increase the standard of triathlon events across the country and to provide a quality assurance standard for both event organisers and athletes.

Nigel Clemens the Chairman Thames Turbo was delighted and said, ” The last couple of years have seen a rapid evolution in Thames Turbo as a club. We have increased membership significantly (most particulrly in our Youth section) and taken many areas of the club to new and higher levels. With the support of the BTF we have achieved Clubmark and Starmark and now are proud to accept Level 1 accreditation for our ever popular Sprint Series of races. Entrants can be reassured (as they have come to expect) that Thames Turbo provide safe and high quality events, attractive to novice entrants and the elite alike”.

Heather Barclay, the Series Race Director also was overjoyed to hear the news “Thames Turbo are proud to have achieved BTF Event Qualitymark Level 1 for the popular sprint race series. This demonstrates the hard work from all Turbo members behind the scenes to make the race a success and appealing to all levels from novice to elite, without it’s members volunteering at the races it wouldn’t be the success that it is. We hope to be working as a club to achieve Level 2 later this year.”

There are only seven other events in the country that have achieved the Event Qualitymark Level1. If you think your event is a high quality event please get in touch with Gareth Hall, National Development Manager”

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!
