What's been going on recently

What has the club been getting up to recently?

The Multisport season got underway in March with the normal season opener event SunCity Duathlon at Roker. The popular event always attracts clubs and athletes from around the local area looking for an early season race after a long winter's training. Dan Cooke, Nick Flanagan and Ian Stephenson took part in the event. Sunny and windy but a little chilly, a great event for everyone.

April rolled in for a busy month and next up was the North Tyneside 10km, Ellie, Gregory, Helen and Nick took part. The trip up the North Tyneside coast to St Mary islands where the finish is.

Guten tag…Next up was Helen and Scott Hartley’s annual trip with friends to the German Capital Berlin for the half marathon event.

Multisport returns for the Tyne Tri Aquathlon event at Killingworth, We had Mick Joyce and one of our junior members Matthew Saville taking part.

April’s busy month continues with the spring Marathon Season. Manchester was up first, Gregory Barnett, Nick Flangan and Jade Roper took part in the ultimate running distance of 26.2miles congratulations on completing the distance.

As the multisport season continues Harrogate Tri Club Host a Pool Sprint Triathlon. The weather in the north east and pretty much most of the UK has been very up and down but mostly with windy and rainy conditions. That weather greeted Gary, Mel and Michelle in Harrogate,what do they say character building weather. They toughed it out and did well to complete the event in awful conditions.

Michelle while on holiday in the Philippines competed in a 10km event which ran at 3am in the morning due to the heat.

That was a busy month from the end of March to the end of April.
