Happy New Year!

- Vini -

Merry Christmas Everyone,

I hope you are enjoying the festive period, without obsessing about the extra calories and how it might affect your output in a future race. You’ll find a new look to the newsletter this month. Vinnie is striving for greater use of the club website; using it as a central source of reference for members, with access to all the previous great newsletter features.

To start that ball rolling this month we have links back to all the content of the past 12 months. The New Year is when Triathletes inevitably look to the following year’s races to fill their calendars. You’ll find links below to the Duathlon at Goodwood and the club backed events for 2019 which will provide great sources of motivation for the coming year and I can tell you that it is a fantastic feeling to support and race alongside your club mates. Hopefully I’ll catch up with you you in Lycra or neoprene in the near future.

Wishing you all a very Happy New Year.

Alex Higgins Chairman.

Flashback 2018

All the great achievements that you and your club did in the last 12 months, and it is quite a few. I created a collection of a good part of the Newsletter content that will stay live on Portsmouth Triathletes website to be remembered forever. You will find Denyse King vegan recipes, Meet the Members section, lots of Race Reports, and more.

I hope you enjoy and get motivated for 2019 and a marvellous New Year.
