Evening all I’m going to try and get two newsletters out to you in fairly quick succession but this first one has three subjects and two of them are focussed on Aquathlons.
The weather looks fair for a good number of days, I’m keeping my fingers crossed it last until Wednesday 16th July atleast so we can enjoy a fun aquathlon event at the lake then celebrate with a burger and beer after – what could be better!!
The Aquathlon part – a fun team event, 3 athletes swim (300 or 400m) one after the other relay style, then transition straight to a 1.5k (ish) run which again 3 athletes will run one after the other. No problem if you can only do one discipline as long as someone else in your team doesn’t mind doing two legs!!
Sign up today here: https://www.oxfordtri.uk/sessions/oxford-aquathlon-2/
If you’re not feeling the aquathlon, then why not volunteer to help out (note there will be NO regular swim this evening) or just join us after for a social at the lake where we’ll be flipping burgers and serving cold drinks!
If you want to join for this part here’s the sign up, https://www.oxfordtri.uk/product/oxford-aquathlon-bbq/
there’s a nominal fee of £10 to include a burger and a drink. If you volunteered at the April Ox Aquathlon I will message your sign up link separately.
really hope to see lots of you there!!
So on the Subject of Aquathlons, we’re looking for someone to take on the Lead role of organising next years Ox Aquathlon. If you heard anything about this years event I’m pretty sure it was positive, what a superb event it was for all the athletes involved and so inspiring for anyone watching! This role isn’t to be the only organiser, it’s to be the central point of contact and we’ll recruit a committee to run the event. The fact this was the second running of the event means we had all the operations down to a fine art and so the actual time involvement shouldn’t be too onerous. The event raised our clubs profile in the community, it raised triathlon and multisports profile in Oxford and raised money for the club, so please consider stepping up yo take on this role. Drop me a message at Chair@oxfordtri.co.uk if you’re interested. Here’s all the stats below on the event, as you can see this is super positive.
Hope to see you next week at the Aquathlon/ BBQ!!
Cheers, Sean.
