East Grinstead Triathlon

cimg0971.JPG  East Grinstead tri is one of our local events. A great event that is very well organized and is fun to race. This year they had a top 12 race, the fastest 12 all started together in the pool with two to a lane. I was lucky enough to be in the race. I have a good swim but then ran outside to be met with a rain storm. I was in 5th place out of the swim and pulled my self in to 3d with 2nd in sight.With the wet conditions I had a machanical where my back wheel slipped in to the frame. This can happen with horizontal drop outs. I had to stop and fix it and found my self well down in 9th place. I ran my heart out to be one of the quickset on the day but was still only good enough for 9th. My bike has now been set up properly!

Complete Coaching

I turned to triathlon after rupturing my Achilles tendon playing football. After 18 months recuperation I was determined to get fit and was inspired by a local triathlon and vowed that this would be my new lifestyle changing sport. V02 Maximum's tailored coaching programme gave me the confidence to train for my 1st year of Triathlon. I have now done 5 events and am absolutely hooked. It may sound trite but V02 Maximum and Triathlon have changed my life for the better and I can't thank them enough for their focussed programme and dedication that has enabled me to compete.
