WaldenTRI President Derek Jones wins Triathlon England award

WaldenTRI club President Derek Jones has been given the Outstanding Contribution award at the regional round of the Triathlon England 2022 Awards.

He was nominated by many club members to recognise more than twenty years of contribution to WaldenTRI and to the sport of triathlon itself. Derek’s involvement in the sport has directly helped literally hundreds of people to enjoy their sport and become better athletes.

So now he goes forward as East Region's winner for consideration for the overall national award in March.

East Region Chair Claire Jenkinson presented the award to Derek straight after a WaldenJNR training session at Carver Barracks.

WaldenTRI returns to cross country running

WaldenTRI returned to competitive cross-country running after several years of absence. Our twice-weekly run coaching is popular amongst club members and it has been ideal preparation for the Essex Cross-Country League event at Braintree.

We run on Monday evenings and Wednesday lunchtimes in Saffron Walden. Just get in touch if you're interested - all are welcome, regardless of running speed, age or experience.

WaldenTRI at Jesus Green Lido

A hardy bunch of WaldenTRI members swam in a club session at Jesus Green Lido with our friends from Meridian Tri Club today. The water temperature was a fairly bracing 9.7 degrees C but the swimmers kept moving and they soon adapted to the cold.

There's talk of a Boxing Day or New Year's Day dip...

Just get in touch if you fancy swimming with the club (we usually swim indoors at this time of year!)

ATW Remembrance Runs

The ATW Remembrance Runs were on our doorstep at Carver Barracks last weekend. We had six runners in the 10k and one in the half-marathon, and they are all regulars or coaches at the club's weekly run training sessions.

They earned plenty of age category wins and podium placings. Performance of the day, perhaps, was Anna who won the half-marathon outright with a new PB.

Join our run sessions on Monday evenings or Wednesday lunchtimes.
