A new Triathlon Club has launched in Nottingham!
Absolute Triathlon is a fun, friendly & vibrant club catering for beginners to elite, all distances, all abilities and all ages.
Launched in April 2009 Absolute is a small and sociable club (with just over 100 members) ran by a team of dedicated & hard-working volunteers. Our diverse membership base shows there is something for everyone whether you are a beginner or competitive triathlete so if you're thinking about joining a tri club, just pop down to one of our sessions and have a chat / join in or contact us for further information. We will be running regular triathlon taster sessions, keep an eye on our events page. |

News - March 2010
Trip to the Manchester Velodrome – April 3rd 2010 This is a unique opportunity to experience the thrill of cycling on a track. As many people have decided that they didn’t want to travel by coach you will now have to make your own way there. The cost is £30 for adults & £10 for juniors (over the age of 9). This will be a fantastic day – if you would like more info please go to our events page at www.absolutetriathlonclub.co.uk or have a look at the Manchester Velodrome site www.manchestervelodrome.com everyone is welcome and the cost includes coaching and bike hire. I will sort out refunds on transport for anyone who has already paid for the transport.
Women Only Swim Session from March 14th
From March 14th we will be running a women only triathlon swim session 4.45 pm – 5.30 pm. The cost is £3.50 and it will be a coached session. We cannot teach you to swim but we can work with you to improve your technique and stroke in a relaxed and friendly environment, so if fancy a go at ‘tri’ give it a ‘try’!
Prices & Membership
Just to make you all aware that from May 1st 2010 the cost for the swim sessions will be as follows:
Adults Members £3.50 Non-members £4.50
Juniors Members £2.50 Non-members £3.50
The cost for the Junior Club remains at £4.00 per session (£3 for each additional sibling). Membership is renewable in May and forms will be sent out in due course.
Women only bike ride
Please note that we are still running our monthly women only bike ride which takes place the first Sunday of every month, the next one is Easter Sunday (April 4th). The ride leaves from Ramsdale Golf Centre at 9.30 am and costs £3 per person, the sessions are led by either Mick or Steve and are an ideal introduction to cycling for triathlon, we generally do up to about 15 miles.
Can you help with the club?
Fancy coaching? Volunteering to organise the junior activities? Any time you could offer the club, no matter how little could really help us. Do you have skills in PR or accounting? If there is anyway at all your skills could be beneficial to us and the development of the junior tri club, please get in touch.
French Training Camp 2010
We still have 2 places left for week 1 of our club training holiday. The club is going out to Les Stables in France 21st July 2010, everyone is welcome. The cost is £215 per person Les Stables is a specialist training centre and the cost includes coaching & accommodation, you would need to add on transport and food, check out www.les-stables.com and 50% deposit is required as soon as possible.
Adult Triathlon Suits
As we have struggled to source tri suits in low volumes we have come up with an ideal solution. Customised Absolute Tri Club tri suits will be available from Langdale Lightweights, they will be plain black Spuik suits branded with the club logo and will be sold at a lower than recommended retail price. If anyone has paid for kit that they are still waiting for, please let me know. Langdale Lightweights are based at the top of Westdale Lane in Mapperley www.langdalelightweights.co.uk; they also stock other tri kit.
Races
Please find below the races that we, as a club, recommend and encourage our other members, families etc to come along and support. We generally take the club marquee with us for a bit of a social!

It is very fulfilling and fun to help out at a race and these races can’t go ahead without people like you, volunteering their time to help out on the day. If anyone is interested please let me know.

Forms are available to download from the website, if you are coming to open water for the first time you will also need to complete a disclaimer form, we usually have these with us or to speed things up you can download from the website.
