Just in case you’re thinking of voting and haven’t checked your calendars yet…Newton-le-Willows and Chirk Triathlons take place on the 26th April and Stratford and Wilmslow Triathlons take place on the 10th May.

A big thank you to Sarah for organising the training weekend. It’s guaranteed (once again) to be an excellent weekend of training and socialising, so don’t be shy in voting for the weekend you prefer and please sign up if you can once the final date is confirmed.

The May date for me, as the middle one is FLM and the one before that is the week before - probably better not to hammer myself then!!

I'd like to come, but as always, I can't make it till after lunch on Saturday cos of work. I don't want to take a place of someone who could do the whole weekend but if there's a space left nearer the time I'd like it. So Sarah, put me on the reserve list please.
