SLSGB Pool Champs at Cardiff (21^st April Nipper / 22^nd April Youth) Get training all, as this event will come around quick.

Falmouth Half Marathon (Sunday March 18^th) – A new event coming to Falmouth this year in support of Cornwall Hospice Care, and only 13.1 miles!

Helston Triathlon (Sunday 27^th May) – New to the sport? This is the perfect race for you and is the fourth event in the Cornwall Triathlon Series.

Jubilee Pool Aquathlon Series (Saturday 2^nd June, Wednesday 2^nd June, Wednesday 25^th July, Wesdesday 29^th August) – Swim the pool, run the Prom. The Jubilee Pool Aquathlons are a great way to get introduced into multi-sport racing. With the competitors times often being split by seconds, these events really make sure the transition is a key part of your race.

Castle to Castle Swim (Sunday 3^rd June) – Raising money for the RNLI, this tough sea swim is a noted fixture for all open water swimmers. The club plays a key role in the water cover too…

Falmouth Triathlon (Sunday 17^th June) – Carrick Leisure is partnering with Gylly SLSC to put on the town’s first Triathlon. Part of the Cornwall Triathlon Series, this event is a must for all members willing to give it a ‘tri’. If you’re not racing, water cover help will be much appreciated.

Summer Turkey Trott, 4 mile race (Wednesday 11^th July) – This fast paced dash around Redruth is a good introduction to road running. Get your entries in quick though, as it sells out fast. There’s usually a hog roast for after race socializing.

Trident Challenge, Saturday 4^th August – Falmouth Fire Station host the annual 800m Open Water Swim race. A great event for a good cause, supported by the club.

Gyllyngvase Junior and Relay Triathlon, 18^th-19^th August – There’s not just one Triathlon coming to Falmouth this year, there’s 3! Club chairman, Allan Reid, has been working closely with Falmouth Town Council to host these unique events in the South West. More details to follow in the next few weeks – but be sure to mark these races in your diary.

SLSGB Beach Champs at Portreath (25-26^th August – Masters / 28-29^th – Youth / 31^st Aug – 1^st Sep – Nippers / 8-9^th Sep – Senior) Go Gylly go!

Awesome Foursome Quadrathlon, Saturday 8^th September – I raced this event last year and highly recommend it. It is a perfect cross of Surf Life Saving and Triathlon, with the canoe or ski added to the standard swim, bike and run. With 30% gradients, it’s not for the faint hearted but can be completed by teams as well as individuals. Get your application in early.

Endless Summer Swim, 30^th September – Our annual swim falling on the final day of the lifeguard season. Great fun, great people, great event.

Cornish Marathon, Sunday 18^th November – Maybe 2012 is the year you complete your first marathon? Beat the crowds of London and enter the Cornish Marathon! Being one of the country’s hardest (15 miles up hill) shouldn’t put you off as you get to run with some of the best views in any race I’ve encountered. With all of the view gazing, it’s over before you know it.

Falmouth Mob Match, Sunday 25^th November – A 6 mile run around Swanpool and the Castle. Lets get a team in this year.

If you enter a race, please send a report and images to matt@gyllysurf.org.uk and I will feature you on this site (and probably write a press release too). If I’ve missed an event on the calendar, let me know too.

Have a great 2012 with Gylly!

Matthew Stone,
President, Gylly SLS + Tri Club
