Club Update and training plans for the week of Saturday 9th Feb

The snow may have destroyed the plans for the Trihards to head to Devon for the Coastal Marathon – but the snow was enjoyed, the sledging took on a new level on Faringdon Folly Hill – I hope you all managed to get out and enjoy the show!

Team Kit: The new order for team kit will be placed in the next couple of weeks so that we have kit ready for the Blenheim 7k on the 28th April.. and in time for the tri season. As soon as I have received confirmation of new prices I will post on the website and email all members – so watch this space!

 

Reminders:

Circuit training is back this evening in the Village hall – 8th February.  Hope to see you there.

Happy February everyone and I hope you are enjoying the snow!  Take care out there if you are still trying to run or cycle!

Good luck this weekend those who do manage the trip to Devon for the Coastal Half – unfortunately the weather has messed up best laid plans and I for one will not be racing tomorrow – It is a big shame… but I shall make up for it with a 7am village run as normal.. followed by some training in the gym in Witney!
