Dulwich Hill Bicycle Club

Just wondering which Tri clubs the Tri's belong to?

Bondi Running and Triathlon Club (BRAT) for me... Why?

Cronulla

Does it matter which club?

Personal preference and location. I chose BRAT as they cycle train in CP and Jo T trains with them. I also considered Balance UTS but they train out at Homebush so I wouldn't be able to get to work in time.

Understand you don't need to be in a Tri club

No you don't. But if you're going to compete it gives a social aspect to the events.

I'm also a member of Triathlon Australia so events are cheaper to enter. But it only makes financial sense if you do a few of them a year.

Julio was encouraging me to do the one at nepean. The problem with that one is that I have to do more running training, as its a 10k run leg. With the sprint series being 5k run, I know my current capabilities

There is a Kurnell race in December that's a sprint. Unfortunately it's after Nepean. But it's only a 5km run and is a local race so easier to organize.

I belong to Balance UTS, have done so for the past 5-6 years. Highly recommend.

Nepean is sold out!

I'm still a long way off a Tri. Had another swimming lesson with unearthed a tonne of faults. Right calf is giving me grief restricting running to one short water running a week. I'll get there eventually...

Will be doing ATTA on Sunday

how many swimming lessons are you up to mike? I only had two when I learn't to swim last year!

I've had 2 lessons, one earlier and one a week ago. I've been practising what I have been advised on. Lots of things to improve on

My Tri training is going nowhere fast, I've got a calf injury and I can't even water run.... ho hum

swim. Leading up to my triathlon I was on crutches for 3 of the 4 weeks.
