League and Championship Update

Published:

The first eleven of the twelve Eastern Region League events for 2015 have now taken place which have including all three Eastern Region Championships.

The Eastern Region is one of the few regions to provide its Triathlon England (TE) members with a regional triathlon league,  And it is a link that caters for individuals as well as clubs.  Since our last update in Mid August, we have had three more league events including our Middle Distance Championships.

A keen race was contested at the Monster Middle on 16th August for the Eastern Region Middle Distance Championships.  Lucy Gossage took out the Regional Senior Womens title with her 2nd place overall with her Cambridge Tri club mate Jared Walbridge being the best placed Reginal Senior Man.  In the, over 40s Nicky Roger of King's Lynn added the Regional Veteran Middle Distance Women title to the equivalent Standard distance title she won at the Norwich Triathlon and Colin Lewin won the Regional Vetern Male Middle Distance title.

In the Club League a club's three best placed TE men and two best placed TE women at a league event earn the club points.  The Club's best two Sprint distance event scores, their two best Endurance event scores (stand and middle) and then the better of their third best Endurance or Sprint scores count towards their seasons score.

Along with the Monster Middle there has been the standard distance races at both of the third of Nice Tri's St Neot's triathlons and the Clacton Triathlon weekend that have contributed to the League.  Individually we now have the following leaders:

  • Senior Women being led by Rebecca Layland of Nice Tri Club.
  • Veteran Women being led by Joanne Sullivan of East Essex Tri Club.
  • Senior Men being led by Christopher Payne of East Essex Tri Club.
  • Veteran Men being led by Andrew Darby of BRJ Run and Tri.
