Early winter training weekend

Harry Wiltshire and Toby Jameson are running the first early winter coaching weekend on November 6/7th based at the superb facilities at the University of Bath.
This will be more like a sister of our normal Big Weekenders but will pack a great early winter punch that will focus on winter miles and intimate technical coaching.

I can't think of a better way to start your winter block!

Email interest to toby@driventotri.com or harry@driventotri.com
(limited places available)

Julie Dibens 3rd at Kona!

Huge news from the weekend: Julie managed to get her feet on the podium at the Ford World Ironman Championship in Kona, Hawaii with a spectacular third place in her first Ironman.

Dibs was slightly off the fastest pace on the swim following fellow Brit Rachel Joyce but once out on the bike she put the hammer down and pulled out a great lead over the 180km bike. She managed to hold on to the lead until mile 17 when the Rinsta (Mirinda Carfrae) managed to make up the 12minutes deficit and power to the win. Caroline Steffen was second with the Dibs holding on to third and straight to the medical tent!

Huge congratulations from all the Driventotri.com team, and enjoy your time on the Island with Mike!

In other news, Harry was competing Mexico in the latest ITU World Cup series and reported in that he finished top-30, a solid result!

Signing off,
(a very sick dog) Toby

Hawaii Calling!

Julie and Joyce are off to Kona next weekend, both are making their debut on the Island. Fingers crossed for some Driven To Tri Domination.

I've been staying in Tucson in preperation for a World Cup in Mexico next weekend. I'll do my best to add to the domination out there. Tucson is Ironman central so i've been training with a whole bunch of Hawaii hopefulls, best of luck to Sam Hilary, Maik, Reinard and TJ.

Back home most of the Driven To Tri crew are taking their end of Season break. Whilst others are chiiling out Piers has been racing in Dubai three days off the back of a trans pyrenees bike ride and Barry has been bike racing across Ireland.

Winter dates still in Progress, but currently looking at two days in Ireland on the 6th and 7th of November and a swim day in Dorset on the 28th November.

The First Big weekend will be an intimate affair this year so we'll offer places to Driven To Tri athletes and friends first. Email me harry@driventotri.com if your keen to come play.
