What a Tuft of Fitties at this morning’s ride. The three route scenario
permitting all abilities to attend worked well. Particularly pleasing to
see more newer converts out.

With the open water season upon us, we have been asked by Horsham District Council that everyone complies with their rules for swimming at Southwater Country Park in Cripplegate Lake. As in previous years there is a total embargo on any swimming until after 5pm, and all Tuff Fitty's must wear a swim cap - registered clubs have to wear a nominated colour of which Tuff Fitty's is blue. Please read the full details here

Steyning Tri was the first race in our club championship and what a start. With 30 finishers in the Sprint race, almost a quarter of the field, there were some great results from our established triathletes and three in their first ever triathlon. With four TF’s in the top 10 Stew Smith led us home taking first vet title finishing third male overall. In the longer race 4 Tuff Fitty’s completed the course, with Kev Pearson leading the TF contingent 8th overall and 2nd vet.
Further action from TF with three competitors completing the Three Forts Half Marathon. Add in the group of cyclists who travelled to Steyning to cheer and it was a superb start to see so many members out in the sun.

Could Spring finally be here? Another packed Tuff Fitty weekend with Saturday morning run, evening swim and two separate cycle rides on Sunday. One to encourage members out, meanwhile 14 had completed the Burgess Hill Spring Cyclosportive, with 11 doing the 72 mile route, two the 55 mile route and one the 35 mile route; all of which proved to be tough courses.

Life as a Tuff Fitty continues to be varied as the club scheduled one of it’s regular trips to the Velodrome. A full turnout enjoyed the thrills and spills of the banked track.

Thank
you to all the club members who helped at this morning’s Frosty Aquathlon.
Better weather conditions this year for marshalling and it appears, better
for racing, with two new course records.
Our constitution states Tuff Fitty will play its part in developing
multisport and the number of first time entrants shows we are achieving this
aim.
And of
course this still left squad members able to race with Kev, fourth home
overall and 1st Vet. 2nd place for our Major Eyes Water team of Kev, Rizey,
Chris L & Sue. Leanne completed our Frosty entrants.
Christian F was third in the Frostbite with good results from Tiff, Jim, &
Tracey. Dave A was pleased with his comeback race after injury and
congratulations to Matt & Peter on completing their first ever multisport
race.

Was it the -5 temperature, frost, pitch blackness and ice on the sea whilst we ran; or the lure of Breakfast at one of our now famous Breakfast run’s that enticed out a record number of TF’s on Saturday morning. The enthusiasm continued with a new record number of swimmers for the early evening swim. This morning also saw great numbers at the successful turbo session. Phew; the season is still some months away and the momentum is already building

The Met office officially stated August was the gloomiest on record. Did that affect training? Not if you are a Tuff Fitty; and with regular Southwater swims we had more scheduled training sessions than ever, and a month which saw more members out cycling than ever before. Still feeling cold; well here is another shot of TF’s in rubber!
