Ironman South Africa, Nelson Mandela Bay, Port Elizabeth, 13.04.2008

Roll on race day! The journey to Ironman SA started in January, after a good six-month break from hard training. I was fortunate to have time to train in Cyprus, in the relatively warm European winter weather. Being based in Italy for the previous months meant that I was frustrated by cold, wet weather, experiencing almost daily sub-zero training temperatures. more>>>>>>

The first Duathlon and beyond......

K1 Triathlon Club, RAF Akrotiri, started its season with a short sprint Duathlon on Sunday 28.01.07. The race and run discipline involves 3km run-15km bike -3km run starting at the club and biking along Beach Road to the SIF Garage and back to the club again. Although the first race had a small competitive field it attracted some athletes new to Duathlon. >>>more photos

Tracey Stratton was competing for the first time and reflected on the race and said," This was a brilliant experience with a challenging but not overwhelming course. The best thing is the support and encouragement that you get from everyone competing.  Before the race everyone was very welcoming giving you tips on the transition between the disciplines. I have now set myself a personal goal on improving my time and fitness and I will defiantly do it again." >>>more

Dear K1 Triathlon Club Chairman,

I am writing on behalf of Home-Start to express our sincere thanks to you for the kind donation of C£400.00 that you recently made to us.  

I would also like to thank you on behalf of the families which Home-Start supports, as all proceeds and donations made to us are used to benefit them.  Your donation really does help us to make a difference and part of this was used to fund a Children’s Christmas party for the Home-Start families.

Once again, many thanks to you and your club members, your generosity to us is very much appreciated.

Julie Wink
(Home-Start Organiser)

CyTriFed International
15 October 2006

Held on Sunday, 15 October this event was organised (superbly, as always) by Cyprus Triathlon Federation, with a detailed race briefing and even a tour of the course provided the day before. Free hotel accommodation was offered to competitors from abroad, there was no race fee, and there was a free lunch afterwards.

The race took place in the centre of Limassol, along the seafront, on a course that was car-free (or virtually so, apart from the odd church-goer, despite the best efforts of police and marshals). In addition to the many CyTriFed marshals >>>>
