After a long winter of training in wet and cold conditions, the sunshine returned for the seasons opening events. First up was the Oldbury Childrens Triathlon.

The main action commenced with the Youth category and Samuel M taking the first podium spot of the day in 3rd place followed by James S in 7th place.

We had a good turnout for our first of 3 planned training sessions at Mountbatten Velodrome. There were the usual nerves for first timers as the banked corners can be daunting at first but after a few laps the smiles come out. For those who have already experienced the thrill of track cycling, it was a chance to work on group riding skills and improving cycling efficiency and maximising the output of those big efforts. The sessions are split into age categories and tailored for everyone to enjoy. Feedback from...

The final race of the South Central Series 2022 was held at Dorney Lake. The race was well represented by Chapel Tri athletes, some of whom were competing for a place in the IRC (Inter Regional Championships), some were competing for podium places within the region and some just for fun and the experience of racing at such an iconic venue. In total 8 Chapel Tri athletes would finish in podium positions within their respective age groups. The final South Central Standings can be found here. For photo slideshow of...

More fine performances from Chapel Tristars today in the Banana Triathlon at Dorney Lake. Not a typical kids triathlon race with no entries for under 11s but quite a few entries in the Banana Split (11-14) category. This meant that T2's had the rare opportunty to race alongside T3's. Another fine performance from Oscar R and Thomas J taking 2nd and 7th place, putting themselves both in contention for IRC selection, come the end of the season. Strong performances from Samuel M, Jasper GE and Sophie L, also. In T2...

It was an early start for some who travelled to Beachborough Tri, held in the grounds of the very impressive Stowe School.

Not to be outdone the T2 girls put in a fine performance with Evie B, Aoife H and Sophie J finshing 1st, 3rd & 6th! Yet another awesome race by Elliot W saw...

In 2015, Chapel Tri member, Felix Barrow suffered life threatening injuries when he was involved in a road traffic accident outside his home. He was flown to Southampton General, where he was placed in a medically-induced coma to help him recover from a traumatic brain injury. Since then he has constantly exceeded all expectations in his rehab and continues to push himself forward. Many current club members will have taken part in the Fit for Felix fundraising events over the years and be familiar with his story but some of...
