I enclose some information about the inaugural RYE TRIATHLON on Sunday 3rd June 2012, and would be very grateful if you could circulate this information to any club cyclists who might be interested in taking part. The race website is www.ryetriathlon.co.uk
This exciting new event will be based at Winchelsea Beach, East Sussex and features a sea swim; a scenic but challenging cycle route (43.70kms for the Olympic distance); and finally a run held entirely within Rye Harbour Nature Reserve. We are hoping to tie the event in with the local Diamond Jubilee celebrations. There will be both a Sprint and an Olympic distance event; the Olympic event includes a team relay and there will be a prize for the first cycling club.
In addition for any cyclist who would like to take part in the relay, but can't find a runner and a swimmer to make up a team - race organisers are compiling a pool (no pun intended!) of individual swimmers, cyclists and runners, and will match you up with other competitors in your area to form a team. So if any cyclist wants to take this unique opportunity to compete in a triathlon without having to swim and run!, then all they have to do is to complete the Team Relay Individual Form and we will do the rest! Cost is £21.00, with a £2.50 discount for entries before 1.3.2012. All competitors receive a technical T-shirt and a race medal.
Please let me know if you would like any further information.
best wishes, Nick Brown (race organiser) ..........tele: 07918 907265
