In 2013 We have chosen as commission for a slightly modified concept of the club competition. The entire club competition existed last year alone from competitions organized by ourselves and we also wanted to give more attention to multi-sport competitions, So competitions that consist of several components. Besides the familiar components as the 400m swim test, of bosloop, cycling time trial at the Scrub Brush and the final triathlon at Lake Como, last year we also introduced two completely new events. First, was there in April a bike-run at the surfhut Klaas and 9 June, a swim run finished in and around 'the Fox', the outdoor Hillegom. Another change we've made is that last year for the first time, no distinction was made between a 'long' and 'short' distance. However, it was for some parts, as bosloop trial and scrub brush, still possible to do a 'long distance', which over time has been adjusted to the distance applicable to that race. This allowed us to determine one overall result at the end.

As a committee we look club competition with a good feeling on the last edition of the club competition. A minimum number of participants 13 and a maximum of 30 (apart from the final triathlon) to give the various components for us in any case that there is definitely a need among members to participate in these competitions and the positive response we got back after the newly organized multisport wedrijdjes (bike-run en zwemloop) at least ask for a continuation of these components in the new season.

The only blemish on the previous season was the lack of the time trial at the Zandvoort circuit which could not go through last year due to logistical reasons. Next season we will do at least everything to also match this gorgeous weather to proceed.

Here we present the matches for the coming (club competition)season:

9/2 Sunday - bosloop, Bos Noordwijkerhout

4/3 dinsdag – Zwemmen 400m, the Schelft

2/4 woensdag – 3km baanloop, the Spartan

13/4 zondag – Trial bike Boender

6/5 dinsdag – Trial Raceway Zandvoort (nog niet bevestigd!)

1/6 zondag – Fietsloop Comomeer

15/6 zondag – Zwemloop Hillegom, zwembad de Vosse

23/6 maandag – Buiten zwemmen Comomeer

7/9 zondag – Afsluitende triathlon Comomeer

We hopen komend jaar weer een flink aantal mensen te mogen begroeten bij de diverse wedstrijden!

    Wat een prachtig rijtje evenementen. Ik ga mijn best doen om Zandvoort weer voor elkaar te krijgen. En verder bij zo veel mogelijk evenementen mijn gezicht te laten zien. Als dat geen goed sportief voornemen is!
