SAC members get a club discount on swimwear and accessories ordered via the club from www.mailsports.co.uk.

Jane Priddis will be putting in an order soon, so please look on the Mailsports website, and send your orders to Jane (jane@priddis.co.uk). Discounts vary by brand, but tend to be 10-20% off the website price.

If you want to order training fins, give Jane your shoe size and style of fin required. Jane will be able to order the correct size for you.

If you can’t find what you want on the Mailsport website, talk to Jane – she might be able to help.

Please do use this service, as we will get better discounts the more we order.

A sunny/calm evening led to a good turnout for the Brighton Excelsior 10m cycling time trial yesterday evening. A number of people reported PBs. SAC members returned good times as follows:

The ice has finally melted, so YES we will be swimming at Southwater tomorrow. Dig out the wetsuit, and your yellow swim hat! Shall we say 17.15 tomorrow. The deal is the same as last year – £10 for a whole year!

I’ll be cycling up, leaving at 16.15. If you want to come along, let me know.

A cold and breezy morning for this event – but 12 brave athletes turned out, and all finished except Gary, who ducked the run due to a leg injury. He made up for it in the swim and bike by posting the fastest time in each of these disciplines! Moyra has obviously been practicing her dismounts, and was a blur of speed going through the dismount zone. She should perhaps give Pete a bit of coaching! Simon proved fastest overall on the day, and John Ford-Dunn wins the prize for prettiest bike. Well done everybody, and many thanks to helpers on poolside, in transition and out on the bike course. The results are below.

The next event (28/6/13) will be a cycle hill climb at Washington, followed by a pub meet in the Frankland Arms.

The next Summer Series Event is this Saturday, based at the Leisure Centre, and is a MiniTri (400m Swim, 18km Bike, and 3km Run). All are welcome to come and have a go. We will start at 09.00, so arrive at 08.40 to allow time to set up, and get a race briefing.

Run = 3 laps.

See you there
