Sprint Tri Ponteland Race Report

Posted on July 16, 2018 by David Levison

Our very own Abby Dorani’s race report on the inaugural Sprint Tri Ponteland.

With the number of members of the club doing triathlon increasing every year, and the success of our Go Tris also building year on year, it was no surprise that the time had come to put on our very own sprint triathlon. And so in the summer of 2017 the idea was born and by November 2017 a team of ambitious and enthusiastic individuals had come together to make it happen. Continue reading →

The Lakesman/ Lakesman Half (16th June 2018)

Posted on June 22, 2018 by Sue Heppell

So what’s on your bucket list of things “to do”. For those of you who know me then there will be little surprise that a lot of my list is to do with exercise. Complete all the Munroes (done 130, 140 to go), do an ironman (done), climb Everest (too expensive and tooooo dangerous) but also cycle from Land’s End to John O Groats. So I decided to move it (LeJoG) from my “to-do” list to my “done” list. Permission was given, leave booked and everything booked ready for the middle of May.
