Chairman Comments


Here comes the summer!!
The longer days and (hopefully) better weather sees the end of our winter coaching programme and duathlons making way for the triathlon season. 
I hope you’ll join me in thanking Jo Lovell and Lesley Quiney for the cycling and running coaching, keeping us sane through the colder months. 

Of course that means a return to the open water. I love the smell of neoprene in the morning; it smells like victory. 
Details of the official swims sessions are below; you’ll need to complete an ICE form ahead of your first swim and it would be helpful if you could print and bring one along to avoid hut congestion. 

Plenty of fantastic racing from the Tribe in April and as always I’ve loved following you all on FB. 
I was lucky enough to be able to volunteer at one of the Portsmouth Duathlons and it was great to cheer you on. 
Congratulations to Neil Collins and Kelly Stokes for superb results across the series. 
We also have a brilliant race report below from Ross Partridge’s adventure at Brighton marathon. 

You’ll also find all the usual features below; another of Denyse’s fabulous recipes, details of regular sessions, and notices of upcoming club events. Please support these where you can, racing or volunteering. 

I’ll be looking out for you all, training and racing, throughout the month. 
Make sure you smile and wave. 
My first outing will be at Fareham, wearing my shiny new club kit!!

Good luck whatever your endeavours are this coming month. 
Smile every mile!
