  A Tuff action Sunday once again. Well done to the 23 competing at the Chichester 10k. Some personal best times and for some their first ever 10k race. Other club members there to cheer the squad on. This still left TF’s in the New Forest for the Tuff V02 test and TF’s out on the Sunday cycle.

  Tuff Fitty kicked off their festive season in style this morning with their Christmas Cracker Aquathlon. Fancy dress is positively encouraged for the run stage and the membership certainly rose to the occasion as the photo testifies. Amongst this quality it was hard to pick a winner, but the judges chose Glenn with his towering Father Christmas stuck down a chimney & Andy S, Tiff & Jim, for their festive Coca Cola lorry; well done everyone.

  What a blast as “Tuff did Hellrunner” this morning. We all elected to run en masse splashing everyone, climbing the hills and running straight through the water together, A huge Tuft of Fitties crossed the line together before another massive TF BBQ afterwards. Great fun all round, we have certainly got your number… as the before and after shots testify. Despite 20 Tuff’s racing this still left other TF’s out at Brighton 10k, Gosport half marathon and Cross Country races… another grand day out.

  Another event at which our club had the largest number of competitors  – One Last Tri in the New Forest with 15. A great way to finish the season with more members encouraged to step up and complete a longer distance; this time a challenging Half Ironman. Well done to all involved, a fantastic weekend with many members demonstrating much improved times to close another fantastic Tuff Fitty season.

An excellent turnout both in numbers and quality at the inaugural Birdman swim organised by none other than our very own Steve Feest.

Also present was Ian M just outside the top 10.  Rizey, Damo & Christian combined to win the team prize.  ‘Supersizing’ in the 2k swim in order of TF finishers were Kev, Leanne & Anthony all within 16 seconds of each other and combined to be 2nd team.
