GO TRI Reading at Green Park

W O W - Women in Open Water

We (Georgia Merlin Triathlon Coaching & fellow coach Jennie Tribirdsport Triathlon Coaching & Sports Therapy) set up these sessions to introduce women to open water swimming in a really relaxed, safe and pressure-free environment. It's ideal for beginners and/or those who might be feeling nervous about giving it a try!

Our last session was a great success so we're hosting another, on Sunday 13th June at Beale Park Lake. See the details below for how to book on and find out more :-)

W O W - Women in Open Water

Due to the popularity of our last event, Jennie Tribirdsport Triathlon Coaching & Sports Therapy and I are holding another one, this time at the secluded and beautiful Beale Park Lake on Sunday 13th June 8am - 10am, £45 per person.

The benefits of open water swimming for physical and mental health have been prominent in the media in recent months, and Dr Michael Mosley includes it as part of his Channel 4 programme 21 Day Body Turnaround.

This is a group session for women who want to explore open water swimming in a safe, relaxed, female-only environment. Whether you want to conquer your fears, build confidence in the water, improve your stroke, learn specific open water skills or find out how you can work with your body and its natural cycles to make the most of your training, Jennie and I are here to help you. We are both experienced Level 2 diploma triathlon and open water coaches and swimmers, and we also like to have a laugh along the way. No discussion topic is off limits in these sessions!

[11/02/20]   We're very sad to announce that we've had to cancel this November's GO TRI. In light of announcements on the weekend, it seems the safest course of action.
😔

We're sorry, and we hope to be back in the New Year, or at least as soon as we can.

However, please do keep up your running & cycling, and we're thinking about how we might be able to host a virtual GO TRI challenge for those who are up for it!

We'll keep you posted. Stay strong & stay safe.

Well done again to everyone who took part yesterday on a lovely crisp autumnal morning, especially the many first-timers!

Remember, entries are open for November's GO TRI on the 22nd - places are filling up already and we sold out for October, so don't miss out 😃

GO TRI Reading @ Green Park

RESULTS of last night's GO TRI are up on the website!

Remember we have a new website www.gotrigreenparkreading.info

Thanks to ALL of you, participants and marshals, for coming along in the rain and grey yesterday - it was so good to have you there and we are looking forward to next time already :-)

sites.google.com Since 2015, our small team has been running multisport events aimed at beginners, every month from January through to October, at the beautiful lakeside setting of Green Park in Reading. We've welcomed so many newcomers at GO TRI Green Park Reading, taking on the challenge of their first ever race.

Time-trial format with social distancing in a pandemic-era. Please note that we had some husband/wife couples/family groups as both participants and marshals - in case you see anyone within 2m of each other, that's them!

It's good to be back!
Bear with us - results will be available late morning or early afternoon.
Thanks to the select few who braved the rain and joined us for GO TRI last night. We think it went really well, and look forward to returning in September, approval permitting :-)

We think we might just miss the rain! Everyone keep everything crossed! 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

[08/14/20]   Only ONE place left for the GO TRI duathlon next Wednesday - get your entry in!

A handful of places left for the August 19th duathlon :-)

Entries will close earlier than usual, on the 16th, so don't miss out!!

GO TRI Reading @ Green Park

Thanks all for your patience ... still waiting for the green light for August. Keep your fingers crossed!

In other news, you may have noticed that our website has been having a bit of a moment recently. We were due to upgrade anyway, so this has been a prompt ...

So I'm proud to announce our NEW website www.gotrigreenparkreading.info

Let us know what you think!

UPDATE - NEWS on 2020 EVENTS

SHORT VERSION!
- July duathlon cancelled :-(
- August triathlon not a triathlon - maybe a duathlon? Working on it
- September duathlon date change to 27th September

LONG VERSION:
We know you're all champing at the bit to get going with multisport events since the BTF announced that events could go ahead from 25th July. It's so important to us to deliver a safe and fun event, and we need to do that within the guidance from BTF. We're just not able to tick all the boxes and get everything in place by the 26th July (our next planned event) so we're going to have to cancel July I'm afraid.

Green Park have cancelled the Green Park Swim which has traditionally run concurrently with our August Triathlon. As a result, we are not able to hold the triathlon in its planned format on 19th August. We're so sad about it. We are hoping to be able to offer a duathlon instead, but need to get our plans & risk assessment in place & approved by both the venue & BTF before we can say that with certainty. We've emailed all our entrants to let them know. Watch this space.

We're going to have to change the date of the September GO TRI to 27th, due to other clashes that have since appeared since the chaos that COVID-19 has created - a true domino effect.

We're so sorry we've had to make these changes and cancellations :-(

Please all stay safe and well, and we hope you're managing to keep active. We'd love it if you shared your stories with us.

We're so looking forward to being back with all of you at GO TRI soon. Keeping everything crossed!

[05/31/20]   Today would have been our 3rd GO TRI since lockdown began. At the moment, as per British Triathlon guidance, GO TRI events are cancelled until 4th July.

However, now that we’re allowed outside for unlimited exercise (socially distanced of course!), we know a few of a our regular GO TRIers have completed their very own GO TRI duathlons.

We’d love it if you’d share your own GO TRI run/bike/run (or any variation?!) here, to keep us all motivated for the time when we can get back out and GO TRI together.

Don’t forget the cake afterwards 😉

[03/26/20]   We hope you're all ok out there, getting your daily outside exercise safely and at a healthy distance.

It is with sadness, but somewhat inevitability, that we have had to cancel our March, April, May and June events. British Triathlon announced the cessation of all triathlon activity until the 30th June at the earliest.

Please be assured that if you have already entered, you can defer to an event in the future. Just pop us an email nearer the time, when we know when we'll be back up and running, and it will all be sorted for you.

We will also let all those know who've entered via email.

Look after yourselves and each other everyone x

GO TRI Reading at Green Park

Dear GO TRIers

Further to the recent government advice to avoid all unnecessary social contact and travel, our events for the foreseeable future are cancelled. Whilst ours does not count as a "mass gathering", we still feel that our events constitute a non-essential form of gathering and contact.

We will be happy to offer deferrals to those who have entered already, to future GO TRI events, once we are up and running again, if you so wish.

The most recent advice (bearing in mind this may change daily) states that outdoor exercise, at a distance from other people, is still permitted. You can carry on riding your bikes and running outside, please just take care of yourselves and be responsible and considerate to others. Maintaining a regular exercise routine and staying active will help boost your immune system too :-)

We will post an update when are events are back up and open.

In the meantime, best wishes to all and stay safe people.

GO TRI multisport events (run-bike-run, swim-bike-run) in a relaxed, fun and friendly atmosphere, perfect for beginners, great value, achievable distances
