In July 2012, East
Essex Triahtlon Club will once again be organizing
the Grays Triathlon, sponsored by Wilkins Kennedy. The race, now in it’s 12th year, is an
ideal Triathlon for new and experienced Triathletes. The bike course around Grays and Orsett is relatively flat and the run course around the Blackshots park and neighboring rugby pitch is a traffic
free course which is mostly flat but with one small rise at the start of each
lap. Every year we see experienced athletes from across the Eastern region
return to beat their previous times. We also see many novice triathletes, who choose the Grays Tri as their first or
second race because of the friendly atmosphere and excellent organisation. All our marshals and organizers are triathletes and family members and they all know and
understand what it’s like to compete in a triathlon for the first time – so
they are all full of encouragement and friendly smiles are you complete the
course. The event location
is: Blackshots Leisure Centre, The course consists
of 12 lengths of the 33 meter pool at Blackshots –
swam in a snake like fashion, starting at one end of the pool and continuing
under the ropes to the next lane at the end of each 2 lengths. Then is a
quick exit from the pool to the numbered transition area, directly outside
the pool. (Note: this year we will introduce a clear transition policy to
give everyone plenty of space. We’ll provide a storage area, away from
transition to store your belongings but we won’t allow any bags etc in
transition). The Bike section is
2 laps of pretty flat riding. There are 3 slight rises on the old A13 before
you enter Orsett village and head back to Blackshots. (see the map for more details Bike Route
here (two laps)). The Run section is
also 2 laps of a grass circuit, which takes in the grounds of Blackshots park and a neighboring rugby pitch. (See this
map for a detailed view of the Run Route
here (two laps)) We have a prize
giving ceremony, usually within a half hour of the last person finishing and
our organizers pride themselves of making the results available online within
a couple of hours of the race completing (the results will probably be online
before you are even home after finishing!!) The race directors
for 2012 will be: Neil Lynch (Tel
