Oxford 1/2 Volunteering, Spin Returns, XC Run and Tri-out

Hello OxfordTri Family

I hope that this finds you well and that you have managed to avoid the numerous showers this week. It definitely feels like what was of summer has now gone. However, for us as a club that does mean the return of a number of our indoor sessions and events such as out end of season dinner and AGM to look forward to!

Tomorrow, we have our OxfordTri Big Tri-out which is really exciting and the weather looks like it’s going to be kind to us. The notice is still below and we’d love to see you even if that’s just to come to go for a cycle or just even for the social at the end.

Also a couple of key dates for the diary. Firstly, we have our End of Season Dinner which is going to take place on the 15^th of November. More details to follow very shortly. Then our club AGM we are going to be taking this online this year as a trial with the date for that being the 24^th of October, 8pm till approximately 9pm.

I hope that you all have a great weekend and I’ll see some of you tomorrow morning at the lake!

God Bless

Oxford 1/2 Marathon Volunteering

As mentioned after a large number of our OxfordTri family volunteered incredibly successfully at Blenheim Palace Triathlon earlier in the year we are continuing to work with Motiv Sport the organiser for both Blenheim Palace Triathlon and the Oxford 1/2. Since working with Motive Sport they have helped to advertise our Open Water Swims May which brought over £4k into the club, given us over 16 free spaces for Blenheim Palace Triathlon this past year and fully covered the costs of our recent first aid course for coaches.

We are delighted to announce that we have agreed the following rewards package for OxfordTri members who volunteer at Oxford 1/2 or/and Blenheim Palace Triathlon (The club will also benefit based on the number of volunteers);

Volunteer at Oxford 1/2 – 50% Off Sprint Tri @ Blenheim / 0.5 Token for free entry to Sprint Tri @ Blenheim
Volunteer @ Blenheim Saturday AM or PM Only – 50% Off Sprint Tri @ Blenheim / 0.5 Token for free entry to Sprint Tri @ Blenheim
Volunteer @ Blenheim Saturday ALL Day – 1 Token = free entry to Sprint Tri @ Blenheim

Next month we have been invited to take over Aid Station 2 which is at the junction of Marsden Ferry Road and Oxford Road, OX3 0PJ

We are just finalising the details for the event which is on the 13th of October with timings of roughly 7am till 11am. Last year a number of members volunteered and had a great time, this year we are excited to hopefully get even more people involved.

Tuesday Night Coached Spin – Oxsrad

We are delighted to share that our traditional Tuesday night spin class which takes place at Oxsrad will be returning this Tuesday (sign up opening very soon!). The session is coached and runs from 7-8pm.

Sunday Social Run

With cross country season approaching soon. We have another Sunday Social Run @ Shotover Country Park on Sunday the 6th, 8am till 9am

We’ll be running as social groups up into Shotover Country Park. This will be member led with a mixture of paces.

Be prepared to get muddy, so do bring a spare change of clothes or a towel to get rid of some of the mud prior to some coffee and cake in the Costa post run.

OxfordTri – Big Tri-out

Saturday Morning is our first ever OxfordTri Big Tri-out!

This event is a Social Triathlon which is taking place in conjunction with our last lake swim of the year at Queenford Lake on the 28th of September.

The concept of the event is that across the morning and early afternoon club members will have the opportunity to take on all or some of the three triathlon disciplines (Swim, Bike, Run). For those who do manage to complete all three there will be a finishers medal.

It is important to note that this is not a race, more an opportunity to enjoy the sport we love with fellow club members.

Finally, the distance is up to you. The laps of the courses for the bike and run and speed that you complete each of them are completely up to you.

Below are some of the key details of the day, for those who sign up there will be a more in-depth briefing sent the week of the event. More info including the courses can be found at our website using the following link – https://www.oxfordtri.uk/oxfordtri-big-tri-out/
