Juniors - after a long period of consideration and as a result of our recent poll and discussion with parents we have decided to merge both groups together for Junior Training. Effective immediately from this Saturday morning, all training (both groups) will be from 11-1 (12:30 finish for younger groups). We are luckily now in the position to have more coaches to enable us to do this. As previously mentioned we are working hard on an alternative indoor venue for when the weather is poor. We hope to confirm this within the next couple of weeks. As we saw on Sunday, the combined training was a great success and it gave the younger triathletes an opportunity to watch the older ones at the end. If there are any concerns with this decision, please do not hesitate to contact us. We are so excited about the talent we have from the younger ones right to the top we would really like to maintain some consistency in our training and we feel that this is the best way forward.
Juniors - bad news but also good news for this weekend’s training session. Forecast is truly awful for Saturday all day with heavy rain and 50mph winds so there won’t be a session on Saturday (see we said there was good news for the rugby fans). However we have secured the area we use for training at Withybush Showground for Sunday where the weather is good from 11-12:30 for younger Tristars and from 11-1 for the older group. All coaches have given their availability so it would be great to get good numbers on Sunday as the season is getting closer.
Wednesday nigh is Turbo night at Camrose Community hall. Come along and develop some bike endurance.
Q - What do I need?
A - Bike, turbo, bike gear, cycling shoes, turbo skewer for your rear wheel, a mat, towel and water.
Q - What do we do?
A - it is a coached session so you can ask any questions you like, get feedback, sessions have a warmup and spend some time at the sweet spot very close to your threshold. It is difficult to maintain this concentration of effort on the road, which is what makes turbo sessions so good.
Q - Do I need power meters, Heart rate monitors and all that?
A - No you don't. Bring them if you have them, they help but we can train with whatever you have.
Juniors - both groups tomorrow please: younger group @ 9:30, older performance group @ 11-1. Please can the older ones with bike/triathlon shoes bring their elastic bands. Also please get your race entries in as posted earlier. For those younger/newer athletes please find below details of the Fun Carmarthen Triathlon. This event is not timed and an excellent race for those newbies and a good warm up to other events.

A fun based Triathlon for Juniors from 8 – 14yrs. This event is all about giving Triathlon a go and enjoying yourselves which is why we have two course options for you.***New Membership System***
After battling with our current membership system for a few years, we have finally made the decision to upgrade to a new online system.
Hosted by LoveAdmin the new membership system will allow you all easy access to your account to update your information such as medical, emergency information and marketing preferences.
Over the coming weeks you will receive email notification with log in details and you will be asked to add direct debit details and check personal data.
This change will also significantly reduce the committee time spent on admin, which can't be a bad thing 😀
We will keep you all updated over the coming weeks and will nag you all when you need to do something!!
***The Time Trial dates have been confirmed for 2019***
The Time Trials form part of the Club Championship, with prizes awarded at the End of Season Bash.
There are many awards including Sprint Distance, Series Winners and Individual Discipline awards.
The Time Trials are intended as a supplement to regular training, with the aim of helping measure your progress during the season, whilst giving you some race practice with the potential to have some fun thrown in for for good measure.
We have made a few changes this year:
*The 40k bike route is going to be reversed, starting near St David's, at the old turn round point.
*You will have the opportunity to do the 800m swim either in Hwest or Milford in the same week.
Visit the website for the dates and more info (start locations need to be confirmed and updated).
