but particularly those on the top of the fell, thanks to our sponsors,
9bar, A1 and Arragons, and thanks to 9bar for the birthday cake!

sun is shining, the wind has dropped and the view is superb! As
for the conditions during the race, well done to all those who
took part, Bass Tri is one of our more conventional triathlons,
no Lakeland passes and nice tarmac run route, so we thought we’d
through in some adverse weather to test your grit and endurance,
we are called TriHard

Redcar
Triathlon Results…I’m
sure I wasn’t the only one who was wishing at 7am this morning
that I could just pull the covers over my head and ignore the
rain, but by 9am it was looking brighter on the sea front at Redcar
and by 11am it was almost back to the sunny, clear skies we have
become accustomed to! Well done to the competitors, thanks to
the marshals and particularly to Redcar & Cleveland council
for their work both in the preparation and on the day and to A1

Keswick
Derwent Island Swim Results…
The swim today could only be classed as wet, the grass was wet,
the air was wet, the lake was wet! those that took part in the
swim were probably drier than those that stood and watched. 172
hardy souls took part in a revised 2 lap route which took you
up to the island and along the shore rather than right around
it, due to the minimum water temperature and cold weather. Thanks
to all the marshals and kayakers and to Colin Gardener and Sunpower
Coffee for the hot drinks afterwards.
Keswick
Swim and Triathlons…
Our less hi tech thermometer registered 11.5degrees in Derwentwater
this afternoon. I have been in this afternoon and it was cold
initially but I soon got going. The swim will be going ahead but
we are looking to make it a two lap course in the bay between
Crow Park and the island so no-one will be too far out and if
you are not comfortable you can return to shore after one lap.
At this stage triathlon swim will be unaltered.
Stockton
Duathlon Race Shirts… There are
still some cycle shirts from Stockton duathlon available, click
on event merchandise opposite to buy one.

Bar Helvellyn Triathlon….Not long to go now,
a number of people are asking about the briefing notes, they will
be issued a week before the event in order to cover as many last
minute things as possible, however in the meantime have a read

body cover, A1 Multisport have some great deals for the entrants

A
Day in the Lakes... A great day in the end though
perhaps the race should be called a Lake in the Day given the
quantity of showers we had and there was perhaps more water on
the run than there was on the swim. Well done all who took part
and many thanks to all the marshals and sponsors who made the
day possible. Provisional results are available .
Photos by available soon
Redcar
Triathlon 2012 ….Regrettably this event
has had to be cancelled for 2012 because of the on-going major
coastal defence works and Seafront development scheme.All
the works should be completed early next year and 2013 should
see the Redcar Sprint Triathlon back on Redcar and Cleveland Council
have been fantastically supportive in this venture and have done
everything possible to make the race happen this year. However
the situation on the seafront is too fluid to make any effective
planning possible. If you have already paid your entry fee it
will of course be refunded in full, alternatively you can transfer
your entry to either the Lakeland Standard Distance Tri on August
18th 2012 or carry your entry over to the 2013 Redcar Sprint tri.
Keswick
updated results 30/5... Long Race updated results

Short results now stand
A
Day in the Lakes... Latest Date for ordering t-shirts
for A Day in the Lakes Tri is Friday 24th May.
Keswick
Mountain Festival Triathlon….More
sunshine today than the Lakes has seen in a few days, a bit late
to warm the water up much but the full distance race went ahead.
Well Done to all the competitors who took part, many thanks to
the Marshals and Sponsors who all endeavoured to make the race
a fantasic experience for you all. Here are the. Apologies to all in the short
race, due to an unintentional signage confusion between our run
route and the trail race route which took place immediately after
ours a number of runners in the early part of the field ended
up taking the wrong route back to the finish. Whilst we look into
the impact this has had on the overall placings and the fairest
solution to this here are the recorded finish times over the route
you took in race number order. A further update to this will be placed here on
Wednesday.

part in today’s swim, cool calm conditions were much nicer than
last year, sun’s just out now so should warm the water up a fraction
for the triathlon tomorrow. Provisional swim results
A
Day in the Lakes... we are introducing an increaed
safety feature to A Day in the Lakes triathlon this year based
on feedback from competitors, motorists and the safety advisory
group. All competitors are to be prepared for poor weather conditions
on both the bike section and the run section. For the bike section
all competitors will be required to have a working back light
on their bikes. On the run section all competitors will be required
to have prepared a race bag containing full body cover – long
arms and long legs, a map a compass and a whistle and knowledge
of how to use them. If weather conditions are poor you will be
told in the race breifing that this must be taken with you out
on the run and spot checks will be carried out around the course.
You will not be allowed into transition to rack your bike without
both of these.
 Stockton
Triathlon Festival 2012….There is still
a technical issue about water testing and limits in a moving body
of water, entries will open as soon as possible, in the meantime
