QS/30 Cudham Lane 22/6/2017 Results
Submitted by Dave Truman on 23/06/2017 06:39Despite mysterious appearing and disappearing roadworks, threatened thunderstorms and errant gas vans, we managed to get the event off last night. Great to see such a good turn out particularly from our partner clubs.
Sam Bennett was the fastest 7Oaks Rider. Sally Mortleman (visible from the space station in her super safe bright kit) fastest 7Oaks lady. Big thanks to the marshals helping us run the event on the night: Darius, Stephen, Dave, Peter, Susan, Tony and Martin.

Dartford bridge standard triathlon results and photos
Submitted by Andy Evans on 21/06/2017 04:42The Dartford bridge triathlon on Sunday 18th June was the venue for 7oaks tri club's standard distance race. It was a very competitive field from many clubs including Crystal palace and Greenwich tritons also staging club races. A few nearly missed their start times due to a congested registration but made it to the warm (but stinky) lake! The air was unusually still for the exposed closed road cycle course and there were plenty of opportunities to cheer fellow club members on during the 7 lap course.
Mid-Sussex (Burgess hill) triathlon results

FINAL East Peckham Q10/29 25/5/2017
Submitted by Dave Truman on 26/05/2017 09:54Conditions looked perfect, but actually it was a bit too windy for super times. Still it was a fast evening with a short 23 required to score above 1 point.
7OaksTri turned out in force with over half the riders. PBs for Andy Evans and Ben Bridges.
Big thanks to all riders for keeping the farmer's entrances clear and for remembering their rear lights. Also to Tony La, Dave Lobley, Simon Truitt and Sam Begg for marshalling.
Neil Harris was fastest rider. 2 seconds separated 2nd and 4th. Sam's 10 mile run warm up may have had something to do with that....
Marshman Half-Ironman 2017
Submitted by Andy Evans on 25/05/2017 10:30Report from Georgie Butler:
Is it a bird, is it a plane? No, wait – it’s just 7Oaks Tri dominating the awards ceremony at Marshman 70.3.
In completely contrasting conditions to last year, as thunder and lightning were replaced with blue skies and sun, eight 7Oaks Tri members took part in the habitual middle distance race near Rye last Sunday. The lake was a (dubious) eighteen degrees for the ‘M’ shaped swim, and that temperature followed onto the “one-hill-only” (I have a Strava graph that says otherwise) bike course and rural run route.

Submitted by Andy Evans on 20/05/2017 10:23From the series organiser:
The TESE Senior Series 2017 got off to a flying start at the East Grinstead Triathlon on Sunday 14 May. Congratulations to everyone who competed and thanks to East Grinstead Tri Club who, as always, put on a great event. The damp start didn't put off a fantastic turnout and we finished in glorious sunshine.
There were some outstanding performances with Medway being the standout club, coming first in the female and mixed team competitions and second in the male team event.
Female team : 1st - Medway; 2nd - Epsom; 3rd - 7oaks
5km Handicap 16/5/2017
Submitted by Dave Truman on 17/05/2017 05:29Some great running in the park on Tuesday evening. Some PBs as always although many were tired from the weekend efforts whether 50 mile TT or sprint tri. Ben Bulley, Rob, James and Darius all had great runs. Ben's time is around his PB from Tonbridge Park Run, which is a much flatter course.
Thanks to Coaches Sam and Jane for organising. Next week fartlek - long intervals. Meet SLC at 6:45pm as usual.
Charlie The Bikemonger’s Dorset Gravel Dash
Submitted by georgestrong on 17/05/2017 11:09This was a rematch for myself and Sally, having done this a couple of years ago. If you want a truly bonkers day out, this is the one for you, and takes not taking itself seriously very seriously indeed.

East Grinstead sprint triathlon results
Submitted by Andy Evans on 15/05/2017 12:00The dark clouds and rain weren't particularly inviting whilst loading the car early on Sunday morning! The upside was that at least the temperature had risen a bit and there was blue sky on the horizon when racking the bikes.
The queue for the swim snaked up, down and through the changing rooms so that everyone started late meaning that the sun had come out for the bike. However the roads were still wet and it was windy, making life a bit twitchy descending the fast corners out of the town. The traffic coming back into town was a bit of a lottery.
Inter Club TT Results Grain Q10/25 13 May 2017
Submitted by Dave Truman on 14/05/2017 12:01Sam and Chris scorched the fast Grain course on a very windy day. Surprising, it's never windy there !?
Together with Sam Glover they kept the 7OaksTri score high, despite us losing riders as we were organising the event. Latest totals are 7Oaks 108, GSA, 97, Sydenham 75.
Thanks Tony and the marshals for running the event.
Next event is on Thursday 18 May at Brands Hatch Q10/26 starting at 19:15. You'll need to be there 30 mins early to register, get warmed up and be ready. Don't forget, rear lights are compulsory. No light, no ride.

Inter Club TT Q10/19 Tonbridge 6 May 2017 FINAL!
Submitted by Dave Truman on 08/05/2017 10:22On a gusty day 7OaksTri members took 6 out of the top 10 in the inter club TT race on the fast Q10/19 Tonbridge by pass course. Sam Begg won overall posting 21:01 which is extremely impressive as the conditions meant most were at least 30s off their best.
There were some timing difficulties on the day. These are now final. Some inconsistencies in the timing have been resolved.
The strong showing means 7OaksTri has moved into a narrow lead in the Inter Club Competition:
7OaksTri 88, GSA 80, Sydenham 48.
