Chances are you've never heard of the Roc Trilogy...we hadn't until #TeamTCUK athlete, Bex Hughes, brought it to coach Matt's attention. Read on to find out more but, safe to say, we're all in awe Bex, what an amazing achievement!

After a four year hiatus (cheers COVID!), #TeamTCUK athlete, Bethany Simmonds, took on her first triathlon since competing at IM 70.3 Barcelona in 2019. She chose IM 70.3 Vichy to return to racing and, despite sustaining an injury six weeks out, she had a great race and would recommend the event - especially if you like a hilly bike!

#TeamTCUK athlete, Sophie Ward took on the Challenge London 2023 middle distance triathlon this summer. Despite battling with a buoy on the swim, strong winds on the bike and picking up a couple of blisters on the run, she smashed her way to home to come third in her age group!

We hope you have all had a great summer and have exciting plans for the winter ahead!

Many of you will be looking to 2023 and planning races and training schedules. So, we're pleased to announce that TCUK will, once again, deliver two training camps in March 2023 in Lanzarote. The camps are based at Sands Beach Resort in Costa Teguise where we have been based for the last five training camps. It's a great resort for training with a fantastic 25m pool literally 20 steps from your villa! Biking and running are equally good from the hotel.

Experienced #TeamTCUK athlete, Ed Crisp, chose the Aviemore Offroad Triathlon to round-off his 2022 racing season. If you fancy a race that's a little bit different from the traditional road bike triathlons and you're up for a bracing swim starting from the UK's highest beach, this could be the event for you in 2023.
