TESE senior series club standings July 2018
Submitted by Andy Evans on 13/07/2018 10:00Congratulations to the twelve 7oaks tri club members who entered the Swanley sprint race on 10th June which was the 3rd round of the Triathlon England South East senior inter club competition. There was a delay in getting the correct standings because it was difficult to see which club each competitor belonged to from the results.
It was the first round where we had 3 or more people entered, so we opened our account in the overall standings in spectacular fashion by winning the female, second in the male and winning the combined competition!
CANCELLED Brands Hatch Q10/26 6/7/2017
Submitted by Dave Truman on 05/07/2018 01:18There are roadworks and temp lights on the route in West Kingsdown.
It is possible that they may be gone by this evening. It seems fairer to give everyone half a day notice rather than risking having to cancel on the night and everyone having a wasted journey.

Superb performances also from Cath finishing 1st female (again!), Georgie showing huge improvement finishing 6th female, Gabi & Grace finishing their first standard. Well done to Jenny finishing 3rd female overall and winning her age group in the sprint race!

2017 club cycling Time Trial competition final standings
Submitted by Andy Evans on 31/10/2017 09:42The women's competition couldn't have been closer. Susan Freeburn's winning ride in the 4 up at Brands put her level with Val Place on 58. The tie breaker is the number of times the rider has scored points for 7OaksTri. Val has 4 more scoring rides this year so is the winner. With Susan second and Claire Edwards 3rd on 55.
Neil Harris won the mens competition scoring a perfect 60 from 7 rides. Sam Begg was second with 58. He also had perfect scores. Except for the occasions when Neil showed up! Chris Hansen was 3rd on 57 points.

Southwater relay triathlon results
Submitted by Andy Evans on 05/09/2017 10:24Any mist had lifted and conditions were mild for the five 7oaks tri teams who made the annual pilgrimage to Southwater country park. With 120 teams of 3 entered, registration and racking was busy but 120 yellow swimming caps made it in to the small lake for an 8:05 start. Much to Steve's delight, they announced in the race briefing that the McDonald's traffic lights would be 'bagged' for the event. Our friendly BTF Technical Officials, Dick and Clare Donovan were overseeing the event.

Triathlon England South East club competition
Submitted by Andy Evans on 29/08/2017 11:15You may be aware that we haven't participated as fully as last year in the TESE club competition due to members doing other events, clashes of dates and due to the popularity, the events selling out before people have had time to enter. The series is being reviewed and should include some different venues for next year...

Ocean lake (Leybourne) sprint triathlon 19-Aug-2017
Submitted by Andy Evans on 21/08/2017 10:00As it turned out, we had four 7oaks tri men to represent the club for the 4th round of the South East club competition at Leybourne. The conditions were dry and warm but windy up on the exposed part of the cycle course across a new river Medway bridge (Peter's bridge). Olly, Ben and Rob returned from holidays the day before the event and Olly's carb loading with pork knuckles and German beer obviously worked as he set off with a fast swim! Even Ben's impressive 19 minute run wasn't quite enough to catch Olly before the line.
