HI to All,

Hope you all had a great Christmas and New Year celebrations. As we approach the New Year we look back over the past 12 months and look to plan for the year to come.

2011 was a busy year for me personally with juggling the events company, running the gym , coaching and trying to balance family life.

With a sad heart, as of 1st Jan 2012 I have decided to resign from the Health Club and cease my involvement with coaching and the organisational side of the Running / Triathlon Clubs.

TL Sports Events will continue to be based at the Health club premises and of course my door will always be open.

I look forward to racing and training with you all in 2012.

3rd Bexhill Triathlon - Race Report

Wed, 31 Aug 2011 00:00:00 GMT

On Sunday 28th August a sell out 3rd TL Bexhill Triathlon took place. With a total prize pool of over £1500 up for grabs, some of the UK’s highest quality athletes turned out to battle for the top positions. The racing didn’t disappoint.

Colin Dixon, the winner of the Inaugural Bexhill Triathlon in 2009, again dominated the men’s race finishing in 1:06 more than two and a half minutes ahead of second place athlete, Sam Wade. The third spot on the men’s podium was Stuart Sorrell of Eastbourne based Bodyworks XTC.

In the women’s race, Bodywork XTC athletes also took the top two spots. 2010 Ironman UK Champion Yvette Grice led throughout to win the race for the third consecutive year in 1:14:40. Sussex Triathlon winner Emma Richards placed second with Team Lifestyle athlete Susie Casebourne in third.

The Jamie Hanney Trophy for the highest placed Bexhill athlete was awarded to Simon Casebourne of Team Lifestyle, who performed strongly throughout and placed 6th overall in 1:12:41. Susie Casebourne and Lee Holdaway, also Team Lifestyle athletes, took the prizes for second and third local athletes. The race provided a perfect tune up for both Simon and Lee who will be competing in Ironman Wales on 11 September along with Race Director Paul Holdaway and 6 other members of the Team Lifestyle Triathlon Club.

Race Director, Paul Holdaway, said: ‘The athletes, spectators and marshal team all created a fantastic and supportive race atmosphere for all athletes. The TL Bexhill Triathlon has built a great reputation over the past 3 years and attracts the highest level of athlete as well as the many beginners to triathlon undertaking their first sea swim event.’ He added: ‘It was also good to see so many local residents supporting the athletes on the course. We are very grateful to local businesses including The Tri Store, Gibbons Mannington Accountants and Mr Floor who provide invaluable sponsorship for the event.’

Congratulations to all those who completed the event (especially with the challenging conditions of the sea swim!) and thank you to all who gave their time to marshal, make cakes etc., it is greatly appreciated.

Sussex Sports Photography took the official race photos and the event gallery can be found at http://gallery.sussexsportphotography.com/a.tlx?k=28gzh2r
There are many great photos in there, so please do take the time to have a look.
