A brief race report from the Sittingbourne 10mile road race: In what were awful racing conditions, with strong cross winds and continuous rain, three Deal Tri members braved the elements to take part in the Sittingbourne 10mile road race yesterday. Following the undulating course Brian Rees was first home for the club in a time of 1.08.47, followed by Jo Malpass in 1.14.38, and Amy Wolfe in 1.17.03. The winning time was 1.01.20.

Club 5 mile Handicap run
Just to remind you that tomorrow the Club will be holding its Handicap 5 mile race at Ripple hall at 09.30. A race for members of the club where by you get a handicap time based on your 10k or 5 mile time, if you have not got a time then you can run from scratch ,and like the bike and swim you will not be eligible to win the prize .. Anyway the slow runners start off first with the faster runners trying to catch you if the handicap times are correct then everybody should cross the finish line together !!!!!!!!! . It is a great race to do and coffee and bites at the end free to enter.
Have put up a list of start times in Doc section on web site. Please be there for 09.00 briefing at 09.20 .

Please can you park in the car park across from the pub at Ripple.
see you there.

Committee 2008-2009
Ever fancied putting something back into Deal Tri? Next month at the AGM all the current Committee will resign as per our Constitution. This means that all positions are up for election. I know already that Kev Brown our hard working Run Secretary is not seeking re-election and that Chantal Wayman our Membership Sec is also unable to continue in 2009. Additionally we need a Junior Secretary to take over the growing youngster section and take it forward. Race Directors and Assistants are needed as well.
If you would like to help out please let Liz Bradford or me know as soon as possible so we can advise you of what each job needs.
