@Richard Jackson.. Thought I'd create a fresh thread for chat on this....in case anyone else happens to also be doing it. I'm looking at getting out beforehand for a ride on the course but no firm plans yet.

Paul. Yeah, set up a thread. It’d be good to see if anyone else is doing it and fancies riding the course before hand .... I’d suggest anyone doing it rides the course it has double the climbing of staffs 70.3 ......I’ve got a house 30 mins drive away from the course, so training pretty easy to do 👍🏼

Good day in the saddle for sure. Certainly not a race I entered for PB ha. I'd be keen to pop out and ride it, if anyone else is game for a few days over for a bike then it'd be good for sure.

Birmingham to Malaga. The flights are currently about £88 return. Plus a bike if you were to take one. It’s cheaper to hire one there. They’re decent bikes.

    Tacx/Zwift/Garmin Problem

    I’ve searched the web for the answer and can’t find it anywhere! How do you link your heart rate on your Garmin Watch to Zwift to get an accurate reading? Indoor Bike on Garmin doesn’t seem to work for distance or speed? Any ideas?

    Grand Prix Series 2020.

    This is an age group based competition run in house for our members only. So you compete against fellow club members in your category ie Male age 35-39... The idea is an incentive to train towards your goals and enjoy a great competitive spirit amongst club members. The races on the calendar will suit all abilities from GoTri to Ironman so generally everyone competes against athletes at their level. The calendar will also include some popular local running races ie Stafford Half marathon... To qualify your must enter your races under your own name and enter Chasewater Triathlon Club as your club name. How does it work ? Say we have 25 races on the calendar, you have to compete in a minimum number of races, say 5 (yet to be decided), you compete in your age and gender category ie Female 35 -39, whoever is the first club member home in that category is awarded, lets say 20 points, the 2nd member home 19 points etc working down...so the club member in each category at the end of the year with the most points wins the award 🥇 Yes, there will be prizes and recognition (and bragging rights) 😀 Prizes will also be awarded for other reasons over the year such as Best Newcomer and the Most appearances at races ( ie the trophy hunter ! ) The onus is on you personally to notify the committee of your results as soon as possible to be in the running for a trophy. Races included / considered to date; Our own GoTri events Our own Chasewater Sprint & Olympic races Stratford Tri Ludlow Tri Upton Tri BRAT events at Cliff lakes & Sutton Park Wombourne Tri Blenheim Palace Outlaw Half, full, Holkham and X. Ironman Staffs, Wales & Bolton UK. UK Triathlon Whitchurch. What we need now is a list from every member of the races you are doing next year, including those running races, so please use the Forum page set up next to this one to add your races. Thank you and Good luck ! 🏊🚴🏼‍♂️🏃🏻‍♂️🥇🏆 Nick Benton.
