🏊‍♂️🚴‍♀️🏃‍♂️ CHRIS – SEASON REVIEW

1️⃣ What have been your highlights of the season?

🇮🇹 Milan Marathon – my first event abroad with friends from the club. A great city, a fantastic race village and, as always, there’s never an easy marathon! 😅

Finishing near the Duomo was pretty special, but the best part was having my awesome club mates waiting for me at the finish with a beer! 🍺

Would definitely recommend the spa the next day! 😂

Another huge highlight was the club winning the Triathlon England Swim Bike Run Award. There was a massive amount of awesome volunteering and behind-the-scenes work that went into it, and hopefully we’ve introduced lots of people to triathlon along the way.

I was also really proud to get 1st AG in the swim at Blithfield Triathlon. It shows how much our sessions — especially Wednesday morning swim — are pushing people to be the very best they can be.

And it’s brilliant to still see so much amazing work going on behind the scenes within the committee.

2️⃣ What achievement are you most proud of?

Definitely winning the Triathlon England award, but also seeing the club go from strength to strength.

There are so many people working incredibly hard behind the scenes to make the club what it is, and it’s great to see that recognised.

3️⃣ How has Nottingham Triathlon Club helped you this season?

Training alongside so many awesome people — especially the Ironman crew. They’ve been tested, but they’ve absolutely smashed it! 💪

Obviously, our awesome coaches and committee members play a huge part too. There’s inspiration everywhere you look.

The Wednesday morning swim and track sessions have really helped me this season and have pushed me to keep improving.

4️⃣ What do you wish you had known before joining the club?

That triathlon really is for all abilities — and there are so many awesome local events to get involved in.

You can see some real improvement when you start. I’ve knocked around 10 minutes off my times in just 1–2 years.

I came from a football background, where apparently you’re retired at 35! 😂

It’s great to still be playing sport, setting yourself goals and finding new challenges. Triathlon gives you so many opportunities — from local races to amazing events and even the chance to race for your country. 🇬🇧

5️⃣ What would you say to someone thinking about joining Nottingham Triathlon Club?

Come down and give it a go. See if it’s for you.

It fits around your schedule, there are loads of different sessions and, importantly, we go out as well! 🍻😂

You’ll meet some great people, have a laugh and probably surprise yourself with what you can achieve.

💚 THINK NOTTINGHAM TRIATHLON CLUB COULD BE FOR YOU?

Come along and try it for yourself — your first session is FREE! 🙌

🚑❤️ HAPPY EMERGENCY SERVICES DAY! ❤️🚑

Today we want to celebrate our very own paramedic Orli! 👏

Orli is a regular at our Wednesday track sessions — an amazing athlete, a brilliant person to train with and an all-round top person! 🏃‍♀️💪

But it’s not just on the track where Orli makes a difference. She’s travelled out to Nakuru, Kenya, supporting children and their families living in extreme poverty. 🌍❤️

She’s also been smashing it on the racing scene, taking on Tough Mudder and helping her team to top female team honours in the afternoon at the HUUB Relays! 🔥🏆

And there’s plenty more to come…

Next up… the London Marathon in 2027! 🏃‍♀️🇬🇧

A massive thank you to Orli, and to all the paramedics and emergency service heroes who work tirelessly to help others. 🚑👏

Top athlete. Top person. Real-life hero. ❤️

🏊‍♀️🚴‍♀️🏃 SUSAN – SEASON REVIEW

1️⃣ What have been your highlights of the season?

The biggest highlight has been training and competing across all three disciplines and seeing the progress I’ve made throughout the season.

But, more than anything, it’s been the people around me. Being surrounded by such an amazing group of people has made the whole experience so much more enjoyable.

I was also incredibly lucky to work with coach Karen, who was exceptional and played such a big part in my season. 🙌

2️⃣ What achievement are you most proud of?

I’m most proud of the progress I’ve made across all three disciplines and of pushing myself outside my comfort zone.

There have definitely been challenging moments, but I’ve kept going, learned a lot and come out of the season feeling stronger and more confident as an athlete.

Winning my age category at Blithfield was also special… even if I did feel grumpy at my racing! 😂🏆

3️⃣ How has Nottingham Triathlon Club helped you this season?

The club has given me so much support, motivation and encouragement.

Having people to train with makes such a difference, whether that’s a tough session, a long ride or simply turning up when you’re not feeling particularly motivated.

The knowledge and experience within the club is fantastic, and it’s a really supportive environment where everyone wants to see each other do well. 💙

4️⃣ What do you wish you had known before joining the club?

Probably just how much I would enjoy it and how quickly you become part of the community!

I expected joining a triathlon club to be quite intimidating, particularly with people of such different abilities, but I quickly realised that everyone is incredibly welcoming and supportive. 🙌

5️⃣ What would you say to someone thinking about joining Nottingham Triathlon Club?

Do it! 💪

Whatever your ability or experience, there is a place for you at the club.

You don’t have to be a fast swimmer, cyclist or runner — you just need to be willing to give it a go.

You’ll meet some of the best people, learn loads and have plenty of fun along the way.

For me, the people are what make the club so special. ❤️

🏊‍♀️🚴‍♂️🏃 SWIM. BIKE. RUN. TOGETHER.

Fancy being part of the NTC family?

Whether you’re completely new to triathlon or looking to take your training to the next level, Nottingham Triathlon Club has a place for you.

📩 Get in touch if you’d like to find out more or come along and give it a go!
