Test Series Return
With the beautiful spring sunshine finally here, it seems like a perfect time to remind everyone that the 2011 Test Duathlon series kicks off next Sunday at the Heath. The 2011 Test Triathlon series starts in 4 weeks time on 2 April.
Trilogy's Test events are very popular, short-distance race simulation events that are perfect for beginners looking to learn race skills, and for veterans looking to sharpen their pace against their peers.
There is a FULL PREVIEW available now which includes details of how test duathlons work, a course map, how you earn points and a link to the last 5 years results.
Along with the preview, there are some important notes below:
1. TI Membership - Essential
As everyone knows, you MUST hold a TI licence to train with the club. The test series events are training sessions that mimic race conditions. It is absolutely essential that you have a TI licence to take part (Associate or Full licence).
As it stands, only 43 of our 97 members have added a TI number to their trilogy.ie account. 54 of you need to take action to take part. (all you need to do is log in to your trilogy.ie account, edit your profile and add in your TI number, which you can get from www.triathlonireland.com).
2. How to sign-up for the Test Duathlon
Last year members signed up for test events online. This year we are using a new Text Service, members who want to take part just have to reply to the tex - Easy! On Friday, members will receive a text asking for a reply. Please reply with either 'Racing' or 'Helping'.
As in previous years, you cannot turn up on the day as this messes with results and the starting order.
3. Volunteers needed
Test duathlons only work if we have 6-7 volunteers to help out. In order for you to gain maximum points, each participant has to help out once over the series - for this you earn 100 ranking points plus 50 bonus points for every test duathlon you do. If you are not yet 'race ready', test duathlon 1 is a great time to help out.
4. Time of Signing On
Our first two duathlons take place on a Sunday morning, registration for these will be from 10:15am. The test duathlon will commence before 11:00am.
