As quoted from Gav's website...i'm claiming i've invited him to help me, but lets not split hairs!
Alongside Harry Wiltshire I will be running a Swim Clinic in Dublin on the first weekend of December. The Clinic is now fully booked for Saturday but we are opening up a second day on Sunday December 5th.
I have invited Driven To Tri coach and ITU Professional Harry Wiltshire to assist me in delivering a TRIATHLON SPECIFIC swimming clinic to Irish Triathletes. Harry is widely regarded as one of the finest open water triathlon swimmers on the International Circuit as well as being a Level 3 British Triathlon Coach, Driven to Tri Head Coach and a Performance Development Manger for Triathlon England.
Starting at 10am the day long clinic will be limited to 20 Athletes and will include 2 pool based sessions and theory classes.
Unlike other Swim Clinics we are offering best practice for Triathletes and not Swimmers. Open to atlhetes of all abilities the clinic will have a strong empahsis on ‘triathlon swimming’ and the techniques and practices that athletes can employ to get the best out of their training and indeed racing in 2011.
For more information on attending the Sunday clinic please contact myself ga_v_v@hotmail.com
or Harry - harrywiltshire@hotmail.com
not just practice, Perect Practice

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.
Finally a couple of links, i've got a report on the px website http://www.planet-x-bikes.co.uk/news/teams-and-riders/q/date/2010/09/27/tri-star-harry-wiltshire-season-so-far Also a big well done to the South West IRC team who finshed 3rd overall this year beating both Scotland and Wales for more info check out www.triathlonacademy.wordpress.com

Driven To Tri go AWOL
The Summer hits and we dissapear. Not great from a corporate marketing perspective, but in terms of getting stuck in and going fast plus making sure our athletes do the same it's probably a good thing. Once the races start, my priorities are training, recovering and looking after my 10 athletes. Then all of a sudden it's time to start thinking about winter camps, and we need some publicity so i'm back on the blog.
Quick update on the team.
Dibs is being elusive, probably because she's so busy winning everything and is a month off her Hawaii debut.
Pete: Has been sort of retired and rumour has it he's even been wearing a shirt and tie this week, it hasn't stopped him breaking 15 minutes for 5km on the track and finishing 3rd Brit in the mens elite race at the World Duathlon.
The Tobster: Finished 12th at the European 70.3 Champs, got married and is desperatly trying to persuade someone to give him a morgage.
Jim Bob finished 5th at the u.k off road tri champs in Scotland last month after spending most of the summer touring around Europe. He's also considering spending some time in a shirt and tie distributing bicycles.
I've spent most of the summer training in Morzine and racing European cups and french grand prix. I took a weekend off and went to Alp d'huez, where I had my beautiful baby blue planet x stolen and finished 5th in the long course race on a bike I was kindly lent 5 mins before the start. I had the fastest swim and run of the day. I finished off the European trip with the World Sprint Champs and World team champs. I spent 12k in the 3 man break at the sprints before exploding and finishing just outside the top 30. We had a young team for the relay, but it was a fantastic race to do and a great experience. I'm going to keep racing a bit longer and try and chase some ranking points.
Our athletes have also been dominating all over the u.k and abroad, so i'll do a seperate post with some updates on their performaces.
We'll get the provisional winter training dates up on the website in the next week.
below the swim start for the Mens race in Lausanne, I love it there.

Reutal Bike Fit
Harry went to see Andy at Bike Science in Bristol yesterday.Lets see if it means he can break off the front of the french grand Prix on Sunday.
If it does then we might see if we can get Andy and his funky computer stystem along to a big weekend to offer some fits.
We are working on winter dates at the moment and should have camp plans sorted by the start of August. Until then we re all concentrating on racing fast!
