Open Water Swimming 2012

 

We have kindly been given permission to use the lake at Coniston Hall Hotel, by the Bannister family who own this estate. They are keen to support our triathlon and multisport venture. As members of Craven Energy you will be acting as ambassadors for the club so please use this resource responsibly. Therefore, please adhere to the information given below.

If you have any queries regarding the open water swim please address these to Carol Young (club head coach) at activecarol@talktalk.net

Open Water swimming is available for Craven Energy club members only on Tuesday evenings from 6.45 – 8pm . All swimmers must register their attendance before entry and on exit from the water.

The swim will cost £2 per person

Safety swim briefing will take place at 6.45pm before entry into the water. All swimmers must attend this briefing. Arrive 6.30pm to allow time to change.

You must bring a completed Open Water Swimming Declaration Form

Please see the training pages for full open-water details.

Congratulations to Craven Energy's Ian Taylor

Ian won the Harriers v. Cyclists, just beating local legend Andy Peace of Bingley Harriers. Both Ian and Andy broke the course record. Ian beat Rob Jebb's record by 10 seconds, outsprinting Andy over the last few metres.

SportsSunday were covering the event, and as usual provide some extremely high quality event photos.

Race Results

We now have a race results page on the website. The link is at the top.

Club Kit

We are taking orders for club kit.

We need a minimum of 11 items to place an order – so if you're fancying updating your race/training wardrobe please send an email/text 07815048859 thegrasshoppergirl@gmail.com

Club running vests are now also available – price tbc around £15 (– no minimum order on these).

 

Evening Rides

The “Durty Divas” and “Tutti Fruttis” Weds eve ladies bike rides. See Facebook page for full details (Kali leads the rides and prefers facebook to the forum).

These rides will be lead/planned by the same people (i.e. Kalie and Weds night riding partner Caroline) and will be posted on the calendar with a start time and place.

Tutti Fruttis is ladies road ride – men welcome as long as they behave.

Durty Divas – ladies off-road ride i.e. Mountain Biking - men welcome assuming they open/close gates, fix punctures/chains etc. and be generally helpful…always a time and a place for equality!!

Start time is more or less straight from work – meeting in either Skipton, or the Bull at Broughton on the A59 depending on route direction at 5.30pm. Depart 5.40

These rides are for relatively competent riders. The pace depends on who turns up – thru winter it has been “quick enough to keep warm” but has calmed down with the warmer evenings and we won't leave anyone behind – and hope such courtesy will be returned.

Anyone who plans to come, please post your name on the calendar or email thegrasshoppergirl@gmail.com so we don't go without you – some MTB rides will be from Hetton, Tosside (Gisburn Forest) or Gargrave. All abilities welcome, some skills training will occasionally happen –through and off, the odd sprint on the road, and some “sessioning” of technical off-road bits where requested . But it's basically getting out with the lasses for a nice ride….sorry no cake or café stops on Kali's rides….its evening after all
