Wallingford Triathlon Club

Another weekend, another fantastic display of what the WTC community is all about! 💙

Our members have been busy clocking up the miles and embracing new adventures, from taking on bike events and hitting the parks for parkrun, to completing charity walks in support of a worthy cause. So many amazing challenges taken on and amazing achievements made.

A huge well done to every WTC member who took part this weekend.

Join us in congratulating the club members on their amazing achievements – you've earned every bit of that proud finish-line success feeling! 🏅🚴🏃🏊 🥾

What a weekend for WTC! ☀️ From the rolling roads of the Chiltern Hills to the breathtaking Austrian Alps, our members have been out riding, running, and enjoying some fantastic training together. Great weather, great company, and plenty of miles and smiles shared along the way - exactly what club life is all about! 🚴🏃🏻🏊 ⛰️

Yesterday the Tri group enjoyed a social run of just over 9km, running from Woodcote down to South Stoke and back again. This was a brilliant opportunity with it being our monthly social run to announce who the member of the month was 💙

Drum roll….

🏆 Member of the Month – Matt! 🏆

A huge congratulations to Matt, our Member of the Month!

Matt received multiple nominations in recognition of the incredible amount of work he’s put into the club recently. From tackling the challenge of making our open water swim system run smoothly, to stepping up and helping wherever needed (including pulling pints at the AGM!), his commitment and willingness to get stuck in have not gone unnoticed.

What makes Matt’s efforts even more impressive is that he’s been balancing all of this while training hard himself and completing a half-distance event in challenging heat. His dedication behind the scenes has helped create opportunities for so many club members to train, race and enjoy the sport.

We’d also like to give a shout-out to our other nominees:

👏 Bob for his continued support of newer riders and helping members develop their bike handling skills.

👏 Liam for his consistency in training, achieving his longest-ever pool swim of 1km, and helping create a positive and competitive training environment.

👏 Ryan for showing incredible determination in taking on Dorney Sprint Tri with limited swim experience, battling through the swim cut-off and never giving up, as well as pushing through at Stinger despite being unwell.

👏 Filipe for being a fantastic new club member and always being willing to help others.

Thank you to everyone who was nominated and to all our members who continue to make the club such a supportive and welcoming community.

Congratulations again, Matt – a very well-deserved Member of the Month! 🏆
