I enter a one or two cyclosportives each season and had a bash at a couple of TLI rod races and would like to be able to wear club colours at those events and races and on all those training rides in the Peaks. I've seen a number of other tri clubs with cycling kit and i'm always a little fustrated people can't see who my team is and that we can hold our own against the 'roadies'!!! What do other people think, i'm really surprised that other club members wouldn't want to show their colours in training and in competition whether that is triathlons, bike races or running races?

The new summer racing kit is inadequate - low cost does not equal good quality. I'd be more than happy to wear more club kit, it would be great to show others who we are affiliated to. However, I'm not prepared to wear poor quality stuff - I want to be warm and comfortable on the bike. We haven't even been able to get it together to get hoodies to wear before races so what hope is there for a full cycling kit. Talk to the lads at James' they too are a little puzzled by all this club kit stuff!! Sorry to rant but I tried a similar post not so long ago and got little response.

But the bottom line is this; the club is run by a handful of people who organise and staff the coached sessions (track, turbo, Graves), the Westfield races, the Fairholmes races, and are already planning the Hathersage Hilly 2008. I think I can speak for most committee members when I say that we'd all love to see some good kit. But like everything, it takes time and it needs volunteers. If anybody would like to run with this, then I'm sure your help will be really appreciated. I'd suggest at least two people, male and female, pool their ideas and come to the next committee meeting. Is there anybody out there ..... ?  chrisg Club Kit Posted: Sunday, January 20, 2008 2:17 PM (PST) Bob, I'll throw my hat into the ring, I'll catch up with you at the next turbo session and have a chat about what historical info we have, time scales and all that good stuff. So, seeing as I'm the bloke is there a female member out there wiling spend some time on this? Vicky M Club Kit Posted: Sunday, January 20, 2008 3:11 PM (PST) potentially. Let me get my dissertation handed in and then I'm a bit clearer. Let me no your e-mail chris and we can collaborate. Jon Senior Club Kit Posted: Tuesday, January 22, 2008 3:50 AM (PST) I'm up for this also. Our kids go to City of Sheffield AC Young athletes section and they don't hold any kit. If you want kit, you ring up the manufacturer and order direct quoting reference xyz or whatever(free post on over £50 thus encouraging upsell). Also, it means that no-one is left with 10 small ladies kits or whatever in their garage. I will find out more when they go tomorrow. Vicky/Chris you can email me at jonathan@ removethisfornospam sharp-end-training.co.uk I also realised that because I use the firefox browser, it removes all the formating from my post and I look like a babbling fool... chrisg Club Kit Posted: Wednesday, January 23, 2008 1:17 PM (PST) Hi Vicky, its good to hear you're on board.

Triathlon Training: For Peak Performance, 3 Is Not Better Than 1 There's a reason it's hard to excel in three sports at once, physiologists say. The training necessary to do your best in one sport is likely to counteract what is needed to be good at another. But the ? remains: Can you train optimally for three sports at the same time?... MUSCLES: Are yours healthy? This is not the kind of question most people ask themselves, but muscle researchers say it is important because muscle health is emerging as an important part of overall health. And they say when it comes to muscles, bulk does not matter.
