 26
Jun 05 - 3 RAFTA Members Racing
at Ironman Austria. Next
weekend Paul Breeze, Mat Stephenson and Neill Gowans will
race at Ironman Austria. You can keep track of their
progress on the website
http://www.ironmanaustria.at/en/index.htm.
26 Jun 05 - RAF
Championships - Dambuster. The
RAF Championships turned out to be a great event with over
30 RAFTA members racing. This is by far the greatest
no. of RAF we have had racing the Olympic distance at the
same time. Well done to Vicky Webb, Mat Stephenson,
Bev Childs and Andy Reardon for qualifying to represent Great
Britain in this year's ITU World Championships, Honolulu.
26 Jun 05 -
Interservices. Planning
for the Interservices moves on apace. It was floated
that this year's categories would change to having a +40 Vet
category instead of a +35 category to align with BTA.
However, this will not not happen until 2006.
19 Jun 05 - Chris
Moult almost Puts RAF Tri on
the map!
The No 1
Age Grouper at the Royal Windsor Triathlon was listed today
as Chris Moult in a remarkable time of 2.00:05. However,
his run time leads us to think that maybe they recorded his
time wrong! Nice try Chris! Ted Hamilton's performance
today was noteable with a 2nd place in his age category.
Outstanding Ted! RAFTA usually support Royal Windsor in greater
numbers, however, with the RAF Championships taking place
at Dambuster next weekend, many have chosen not to race 2
weekends in a row. A great performance by all those
who took part.

13 Jun 05 - RAF
Championships - Dambuster 25 Jun 05.
By now you should have seen
the details for the Dambuster Triathlon, either on the www.pacesetterevents.com
website or through the post. With the race being the RAF
Standard Distance Championships, as well as the selection
event for the IS mens teams, there will be a RAFTA race
HQ (should be on the grass bank just past registration).
We will be housed in one of the new luxurious RAFTA gazebos
and there should be a big RAF sign up, so you can't miss
us.
Please can those who are racing
note the following arrangements: Immediately after
you have registered, please go to the RAF Gazebo.
Prior to the race we need to know who is definitely racing,
and who is racing for IS Selection.
After the race, result availability
permitting, we intend to present the race trophies, so please
meet back at the Gazebo for the presentation. We should
also know who has qualified for the IS teams. It'll also
be a good opportunity for a social.
Place
Available. Due to one of our triathletes
pulling out, there is the possibility of a place being available
at the RAF Champs/IS selection race at the Dambuster triathlon
on 25 Jun. Anyone interested should contact me ASAP
on 95771-8056 or mensteammanager raftri.org.uk.
Note
from our Comms Director, Pete Daulby. We need
to get some good photos of this event as it is our first
real opportunity this season to get some good publicity
for us and our sponsors, SIMPLER. We will attempt
to do a 36-people group photo once everyone has finished
at the Gazebo (particularly if we are waiting for the results!).
We need to be as smart as possible, so please bring with
you your polo shirts or fleeces and please bring spares
if you have them so we can share them out to those who don't
have theirs yet. If anyone has any relatives coming
to watch, get them to take photos of everyone in RAF kit
and then please send them to me (OC EOS at RAF St Mawgan).
Why not bring a picnic and make a day of it!

25 Apr 05 - We're
back!
La Santa
2005 was as awesome as a mouse living in a cheese factory.
The 'tourers' might understand
the mouse analogy better than most - more in the next edition
of triangles! Most of us completed about 20Km of swimming
400-500Km of bike and 40-80Km of running and now we're truly
blitzed! Poor Rosie Phelps had her appendix out on day 3
and went home on day 7; she returned with Brad in tow who
also had to return earlier than expected. Apart from
that we all did the distance and by now we should all be
back. Fred was a hero and went to work today on about
2 hrs sleep. We are looking to go again next year,
perhaps in Feb 06. Stay posted to the web as we'll
be asking for names early.
