For the 15 plus of us that did turn up I'm sure you'll all agree having a Coach will prove its worth and tonight's session was hard but well structured. Thanks Jen. After speaking to Jen tonight she will be e-mailing me the following Mon & Wed nights programmes in advance so I will be bringing down to swim. If I'm not able to attend I will pass on to some one who is. Also if anyone has a particular swimming goal/time that they wish to reach/aim for this coming racing season Jen is willing to write you out your own personal programme. Take advantage gang....Regards Reg » TD and REFEREE TRAINING DAY: As all Clubs are required to supply a TD and Referee for each event they are holding this year, this is a golden opportunity to be trained to a high standard by a dedicated training team. I know this is eating into training and personal time but are any of you interested in attending this? Unfortunately from our club which has a lot of members and which disappoints me, Jo is currently the only person signed up. We have had nobody replying to previous e-mail sent out by Cathy. Even if you replied to let me know why you cant do would be nice. So I can then inform TI why we are only providing 1 person instead of the 4 required. » Swim training - Wed 12th March: Get a preview of the drills at swim training on Wednesday evening.

HiElbow would like to congratulate Tommy on this well deserved achievement....does that mean you'll take it easy on us from now on?

This year members will have the opportunity to vote for the club triathlon from a shortlist of events drawn up by the committee. All the triathlons shortlisted are olympic distance, with one (Loughrea) having both a sprint distance and olympic distance event. These triathlons have been purposely chosen to be further away than normal and will probably involve an overnight stay. Being further away gives us the opportunity to travel together, get to know other club members, experience a new triathlon event and enjoy a bit of criac either before or after the event. Plan to come along this year. You will get notification shortly via email of the special web page on which to make your vote. If you are a member and don't get this email and still want to vote, give Cathy your email address, email her on info@hielbow.co.uk The committee will look at the results in March/April and let you know what triathlon has been choosen for the "2008 Club Triathlon". You can then go ahead and organise accommodation etc. » New to Triathlon and close to Dublin? Triathlon Ireland have had a lot of enquiries from people looking to get involved in out sport.

» Hielbow club appointments for 2007-2008 Secretary: Cathy Thompson » Hielbow/Centurians Winter cycling All If only the summer weather had been as good as the autumn! We have had a really good spell of dry weather and with that the numbers at cycling have been impressive. We are into the high teens most Saturdays, but with the onset of cold and wet winter mornings we will see what you are all made off then. The split into 2 groups after an hour or so seems to have worked. The more regular you attend the more you will gel and build up friendships within a group. You also may improve that much that you move up a group, or even start a group all by yourself!!! Anyway keep up the effort levels, and get a goal to train towards for next year. We have a lot of talent and a fair degree of ambition within our ranks. We all have individual goals at all levels from Irish championship wins to ironman finishes. These goals are what drag you out of bed in the winter mornings to freeze your nuts off.(or equivalent!!) The whole idea about the centurions was another way to keep you motivated. We all work better as a team, and so if the team also have a goal that we can all work towards, then we all raise our game, and get helped along. Last year we cycled from Mizen Head to Malin Head, 500 miles in 4 days and raised £11,000 for charity along the way. Better still, we had great craic and our cycling improved by leaps and bounds. So if you haven't joined the Centurion ranks yet, you need to start training towards completing one of our 100 mile training rides. Next years Centurion goal is The Midsummer's Madness. That is too cycle 200 miles in one day. So get training!! The 8am start on Saturdays from Ellie Mays will remain for another few weeks, as the clocks change this weekend and will give us more daylight in the mornings for a week or two. I estimate it will convert to the 9am start from the 1st December. I will keep you updated. Ian Lyle » HiElbow Club AGM & Prize Giving: A combination of the club AGM and Awards will be take place at the Holiday Inn Express, Antrim (beside Junction 1) on Friday, 30/11/07 starting at 7pm. Anyone wanting to eat afterwards can avail of numerous restaurants close by. If you have any issues that you want raised, please EMAIL Joanne before 20/11/07 » Latest happenings-06/08/07:The Hi Elbow Club's Centurions cycle training group had another 100 miler on Sunday 15th July 2007. It was a pleasant summers day, yes we did get one. So we headed for Portadown, followed the cycle path along the Bann and into Newry, returning home via Rathfriland and Banbridge. The Olive Tree coffee stop in Newry was one of the best to date, although it was hard to cycle after all that food. Three new Centurions earned their helmets, namely Matt Wilson, Larry McAteer and Joanne Kee. Well done, as not one of you seemed in any distress. The centurion group will be setting new targets for next year. If you want to get involved in some serious cycle training, you need to show commitment. That means getting in the saddle with a desire to improve. We will hold another 100 miler in September for those who want to join the merry band, and get the kit before the next clothing order. After that, we will knuckle down to our usual regular group cycles, at a fair old lick. If you can't keep up, we won't be around to hear your complaints. Centurions have been travelling all over the place in the last few weeks, between holidays and racing. Most people are returning from their holidays, and so it will be interesting to see if the break recharged their batteries for a few 30 sign sprints. There has been a lot of racing with Brian winning Lisburn and Castlewellan, Matt winning the Ulster Duathlon Champs, and the rest of us getting a few top 10 finishes and age group wins. Something must be working. Gary Stewart tipped his toes into the world of TT, and with no tri bars, and 2 full water bottles, managed an incredible 23.08mins for 10 miles on his first effort. Lough Neagh is approaching fast. Swim practice is on the next 2 Thursdays. If your not racing, please please please make yourself available for marshalling and setting up the course. Upcoming events The triathlon scene rumbles on, but for a bit of a difference a few of us will be entering the following, The Mourne Sportive - 100 miles and 3000 metres of climbing. Sun 12/8/07 - 8am start If you fancy it, let me know by 5 pm on Tuesday, as I am entering names by telephone to the organiser. http://www.dromaracc.co.uk/sportive/home.html This years Inishowen 100 is on Sunday 19th August. Last year we had more than 200 entrants with 100 of those entering on the morning of the event. This made things much more difficult to organize... ordering food, printing certificates etc at the last minute and we want to encourage everyone to enter for the event in good time. For this reason the standard entry fee of £20 will be increased to £25 after the 10th August. So please... (1) make a committment to take part in this great event , (2) enter before the 10th August for £20, and (3) enjoy a great day's cycling on Aug 19th For Inishowen100 Brochure http://www.foylecycling.net/pdf/Inis2006brochure.pdf For Inishowen100 Frequently Asked Questions http://www.foylecycling.net/pdf/Inis100FAQ.pdf Inishowen100 Entry Form (Postal Version) http://www.foylecycling.net/pdf/inis_entry_form2007.pdf For links to more info on Ininshowen 100 http://www.foylecycling.net/pages/i100page.asp For those who want to try a TT before the end of the season, Old Bleach have 2 planned in August and invite us to take part. Tues 7/8/07 - 25 mile TT - start 7pm at Oldwood Road, opposite the Ramble Inn Tues 21/8/07 - 10 mile TT - start 7pm at same place. Lastly, like all things, I expext to see a few faces dissappearing from the ranks, and a few new ones joining. It has been good to see Toshy, Jonny, Reg Kumar, Gary McCappin and Cathy Thompson out with us in recent weeks. None has looked out of their depth, and I hope that all get stuck into the centurion training in the future. (Ian Lyle) » Latest happenings-10/07/07: Well done to all the troops who had a go at the Half Ireman in Groomsport. I make it that all the Hi Elbow members and centurians finished. It was a hard old race, particularly the run. Well done to Matt who finished a terrific 2nd, running down the leader all the way. A special mention also to Jo Anne. Jo Anne trained hard all winter, especially on the bike, and it great to see all that hard work paying off on sunday with a good finish. We also won the relay event with a team comprising Ed Cooke, Gary Stewart and Alan Graham. I've heard it got Gaz's competitive juices flowing, and he has already went out and bought a pair of running shoes from Matt. This Friday 13th we are having another one of our centurian tours. As the wind is forecast to blow a 5mph south westerly, it looks like the route will be Pordadown and the cycle path down to Newry. Depending on how many miles that works out, the route back will be varied so we get in the 100. That may mean Warrenpoint after Newry. We start at 8am sharp at Ellie Mays. With quite a few away on holidays, we will be missing a couple of regulars, but Gaz, Ed, Bryce,Daren, and Alan are confirmed. Matt is also coming to gain his centurian status, while Gary Bloomer has planned to do his run in Majorca, and text us his video diary. Other club members are invited. I've heard Jo Anne, Bob and Gary McCappin considering it, all in the knowledge that they gain the right to wear the centurian kit if they complete the 100. Finally, good luck to Brian and Ed Cooke who are both competing at the Irish Elite triathlon champs this weekend. (Ian Lyle)

This hotel is 6 miles out of the centre in Dundrum which is a lovely place. To use the LUAS to get into town cost 3.90 euro rtn from 6 in morning till 00:30. You can also get your bike into the hotel. The rooms are modern,clean and spacious. Only down fall no bath. I asked for breakfast at 05:30 on morning of the race no problems for them. Though breakfast does not include a Fry Up(Yuk) At a cost of 69 euro per night per room and 13 euro for brekkie it is a bargain.It is in a peaceful location and off the main rd. The name of the place is IMI Residence and the website is www.imi.ie/res . Also for the ones who missed it,the race is a brillant one and well worth entering in 2007.

We would particularly like to thank Tommy for helping us with advice on training in all three areas, encouragement when things were not going so well and always being there to support us and finally coming to Coleraine and cycling with us for two laps, otherwise we would have probably just dilly dallied around like we normally do!
