NORTHWEST TRIATHLON CLUB 'ON THE UP'

Northwest Triathlon Club is definitely a club on the up, writes Michael Black, NI Club & Coach Development Officer on TI's website.

Based in Derry Northern Ireland, the club has grown dramatically over the past number of years. With a 50% increase in membership numbers, a strong presence on the racing front and a thriving junior section, Northwest Triathlon Club can count itself as one of the top triathlon clubs in the country.

Central to the club's success in recent times is their thriving junior section which was set up to cater for the demand and enthusiasm shown by the local junior athletes. A group of hard working committee members and coaches lay on an extensive program of training and fun activities.

Young athletes from the ages of 8-16 years old can now avail of the opportunities created by NWTC. One major part of their success is the fact that the junior section is a separate structure with its own sub-committee and coaches, solely catering for the needs of juniors. All too often we can see how juniors can be discouraged and intimidated by entering a predominantly adult environment. By having a dedicated group of coaches designing sessions around the needs of the young athletes then it’s only a matter of time before numbers increase, programs grow and coaches become better educated and trained to meet their needs.

Since September 2014 the club has hosted mountain bike sessions, bike skills, transition skills, pool coaching, running skills, nutrition and preparation workshops and S&C courses. Recently the club organised a fun pool and exercise session which finished with a club party. Over 30 athletes attend on a weekly basis and the club hopes to develop more junior coaches next year to allow it to offer the program to more kids in the area.

Next year the focus for the club is to develop these athletes and put them into specific training programs based on information from testing or monitoring days. This will ensure that no matter what level the athlete is at, they will be provided with a training plan suited to their abilities. This again shows the professionalism and foresight of the coaches involved.

With too many to mention individually we at Triathlon Ireland would like to congratulate all the coaches and members involved in getting the junior section to where it is today and hope that their continued dedication and encouragement will serve to grow the opportunities for young athletes in the area and in triathlon as a whole.

Connor and Woods win second race in Winter 5K Series

Almost 170 people lined out for the second 5K race in the NWTC Winter Series on Sunday.

Stephen Connor of Foyle Valley AC was the first male home, posting a time 15:48 with Ronan McLaughlin of NWTC in second place in 15:54. In third position was Derry City Track Club's Matt Doherty who crossed the line in 16:20.

Katherine Woods of Springwell AC was the first female, posting a time of 20:10 with Margaret Kelly of 24-7 TC in second with 20:28 and Leona Dunne of Letterkenny third in 20:52.

A spokesperson for NWTC said the race was a tremendous success with many taking part posting personal bests on the "fast and accurate" 5K course.

"We had a great turnout once again with almost 170 runners taking part and thirty children taking part in the juniors 2k race - even the weather smiled on us for what was a beautiful morning. We'd like to thank everyone who helped to make this yet another safe and enjoyable race for North West Triathlon Club."

Second race in NWTC's 5K winter series

The second race in the North West Triathlon Club 5K winter series takes place this Sunday morning.

A large entry is expected for this ever popular race on a fast course which takes in Derry's Atlantic Quay and Bay Park.

The race begins at 11am with registration from 10am to 10.45am close to the Coffee House at Atlantic Quay.

The entry fee is £6. A 2K kids race will take place at 10.55am with entry free.

Aileen storms to fifth in grand final

NWTC's Aileen Reid ended her season with a flourish, posting an impressive fifth place finish in the World Triathlon Series's concluding grand final event in Edmonton in Canada.

The Derry triathlete produced a storming run to move up from 20th place at the end of the first lap of the 10km in the standard distance event.

She powered across the finish line one minute and 16 seconds behind winner and new World Champion Gwen Jorgensen.

Aileen's performance ensured she retained her 2013 standing as her eighth overall in this year's World Series.

After her start to the season was affected by injury, Aileen produced impressive form in the concluding months of the summer as she took eighth, ninth and 11th and fifth spots in her final four events in London, Hamburg, Stockholm and Edmonton.

Aileen also finished a solid sixth at the recent Commonwealth Games in Glasgow before returning home where she continued her training with a win in the Omagh triathlon.

She took second in last year's Grand Final in London but still should be pleased by her efforts in Canada.

Those behind Reid included Commonwealth champion Jodie Stimpson who was 13th.

Jorgensen took the world title ahead of her compatriot Sarah Groff with New Zealander Hewitt third and Stimpson in fourth.
