The following categories are decided by the committee.

 

Multi-sport champion

  • (aquathlon , aquabike, swim run, duathlon)
  • One award
  • Decided by the committee. The committee will look at results especially from GB qualifiers and age group representation.
  • A competitor must have taken part in at least 3 events either in one of the multisport disciplines or across a combination of them

 

Club champion

  • (achievement across the disciplines of running, cycling and swimming )
  • One award
  • Decided by the committee. The committee will look at results from the swimming, running and cycling club champs and other key events such as the Cambridge half marathon,  marathons, x- country
  • A competitor must have taken part in  numerous events in running, cycling and swimming

 

Most improved

  • One award
  • The committee will decide this based on an athlete who has made a step change in performance over the season. For example, someone who has made a GB team for the first time, a podium finisher for the first time or knocked a significant chunk off previous PBs.

 

Best Long distance

  • One award
  • The committee will decide this based on an athlete who has either made a podium over the season or completed a major endurance event. Long distance is 70.3 upwards.

 

Best novice

  • One award
  • The committee will decide this based on an athlete who is in either their first or second season. Best novice may be someone who has had some great performances or equally someone who has approached racing and training with great enthusiasm for the sport.

 

Best vet ( 60 plus)

  • One award
  • The committee will decide this based on an athlete who has achieved podium finishes, age group wins or above.

 

Club captains award

  • Someone deserving that has done something incredible or helped in some way. This is not necessarily within a race but as part of the club community

 

President’s award

  • This award has a financial award and is chosen in consultation with the committee to ensure that it goes to someone whom the money will be meaningful.
  • This usually goes towards a young, aspiring elite athlete who’s making financial sacrifices in order to compete at this level. On occasions when this criteria has not been met, the award can be given for non- performance endeavour.

 

Socialising!

At each of the nominated Championship events, we will endeavour to have the Club gazebo and a couple of flags present to be used as a gathering point and a place to leave your bags / excess kit. We would like to encourage you, your family and friends to join. Bringing along food and refreshments to share is actively encouraged as is lift sharing!

In addition, we will be organising a club social event after some of the races, so look out for details nearer the time.
