Twice monthly club run / Talks / social night - TVT holds a social run night on the first Tuesday of the month. It is based out of Rivers Health club on Scours Lane off the Oxford Road and is for all abilities, existing members and interested prospective members alike; you don’t even have to take part in the run to join in the social afterwards.  The night has been a huge success since it started in early 2007.   

There are different run routes for different abilities / pace led by a club member so that no-one need fear being dropped or having to run too hard. Arrive at 7pm for a run lasting up to 1 hour or at 8:15pm for a drink in the bar and curry afterwards.

On the third Tuesday of each month we have introduced a social and talk night.  Club members and guests are invited to give a short presentation and Q&A on a specific area of triathlon.  Previous talks have included race/season planning, core stability and strething, nutrition and we are planning talks on bike maintenance in 2008.

These sessions costs £3.50 (cash or a swim ticket) which covers the costs of the curry.  All we ask is that you inform the Club Secretary if you are thinking of attending so that adequate food can be provided.
