Club Nick Patrick Posted by dharris on Wednesday, July 02, 2008 (PST) The passing away of Nick Patrick I have just received the sad news from Alison Hollett that Nick Patrick passed away last night at the tragically young age of 50. Nick and Estelle, as many of you will know, served the club in various capacities for many years until their move to Barmouth in north Wales. Nick had been suffering from cancer for the past few months, but until the past week had remained remarkably active and cheerful. Pam and I, together with Alison and John, were privileged to attend the wedding of Nick and Estelle just 6 short weeks ago, and our deepest sympathy and loving thoughts go out to Estelle and to Nick's family at this sad time. It seems likely that Nick's funeral will be held in Sheffield, and I will post another message on the website when I have further details.   Notify me when a new comment is posted Edit this Article | Add Your Comment

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.
