THE HOME OF 'TRITANIUM'
This site hopes to follow the ups and downs of a group of blokes all the wrong side of 30 who have recently dipped our toes in the water of the world that is Triathlon and any other swim, bike, run events we can get our teeth into. This site hopes to be a way we can all discuss Tri issues and document our races, share pics and check out upcoming races etc. The group is quickly expanding as we all seem to be encouraging people into our new found world of Triathlon....which has become all too clear, doesn't come lightly or cheaply but is worth every minute and every penny!
We have recently decided to form a Triathlon Club called

Hi All, with the imminent AMG, I thought I'd put some dates down for discussion. It will be full year but that was the intention for our budding go hard or go home triathletes.
Skipton 15/4
First of the Summer Tri 22/4
Horwich Sprint 6/5
Darwen Sprint 1/7
Padiham Sprint 31/7
Clitheroe Sprint 19/8
For those who intend to go a bit further, the option of including some standard triathlons are as follows
Capesthorne Standard 10/6
Lakeland Standard 11/8
On top of that, I will be doing the Derwent Water open water 1500 m swim on the 19/5 and attempt the Manchester Great Run (10km) on 20/5. I'm also joining Iain in the Windermere Great North Swim 23/6.
Hope this gets the discussions going.

Just wanted to say thank you for linking to my blog on your website and for your kind words about my book. Dead chuffed that you found it inspirational.
I just wanted to wish you all the very best with Tritanium and your triathlon adventures. As you are not to far away from me ( Lancaster ) hopefully our paths will cross at a race in future. If you recognise me plodding along feel free to shower me with abuse ;-)
Cheers
Andy ( Ironholgs )

As eating dark chocolate increases number of mitochondria, I would like to encourage all team members to scoff choc in the hope that it will improve performance.

'MOLTENI BOYS' HAVE MORE FUN
The day started out like any other Tritanium event, it was raining and i was late! but this was helped by the fact that Iain had only just arrived. Although it was no surprise to anyone that i was last to be ready, not helped by the fact that my back wheel had popped out whilst in transit and i thought i'd buckled it and wouldn't be able to ride, (I went a nice shade of green at the thought that i was all dressed up with no where to go) as ever Mark was around to fix the problem and make me feel like an idiot as he fixed it in 5 seconds. Graham and Mark who say i'm enthusiastic, had cycled to the meeting point and were sheltering in a bus stop, as we were to experience later a bus may not have been a bad idea at times and who would have thought that Iain's humerous charactor profiles would once again prove to be true to form, those 2 hours sat quietly typing away while trying not to wake the kids up in Norway proved to be time well spent.
Well we were off, sadly the rain meant the Molteni matching tops would have to be hidden away like a closely guarded secret until a very brief break in the showers later in the day. I can only speak for myself but i'm sure Iain and Graham would agree that for the mere mortals in the team it was both the most exilerating and enjoyable ride of our lives and the worst ride ever all rolled into one.

TRAINING TIPS
Chia Seeds - On the advice of Mark H I was advised to try Chia seeds as I was always tired from early mornings and training. Mark was right it did look like frog spawn and to be honest it tasted as bad. My next attempt I used orange instead of water and it was nice, time will tell if it helps me in my early morning training sessions. Nathan
