Andy B commented on Teresa Redmond's event 'CRYSTAL PALACE TRIATHLON SUPPORT & BBQ / PICNIC'"Seconded. I can't thank Teresa, Tauni and all the others enough for the huge support. It really made a difference to me. Also, I don't the Windrusher who was up by the steps/crossing but he was great as well. Thank you all!"
Andy B replied to Teresa Redmond's discussion Crystal Palace Start Times"Well, Penge tends to get the legs moving ... So, for those in the early-ish Windrush wave, the options from Herne Hill seem to be the 8.00am train or the 8.00am train.
Also, for people coming from the Peckham direction there is obv. the Overground…"
Andy B replied to Teresa Redmond's discussion Crystal Palace Start Times"For those hoping to avoid just one more hill on Sunday, the tedious news is there appears to be engineering works on the line to CP from Tulse Hill > London Bridge."
Andy B replied to Helen's discussion Open water swimming ideas"Hi Elizabeth (and others), Windrushers very kindly turned me onto SwimSmooth. I found their information unusually helpful and clear in terms of developing a (pool) stroke, and am now looking at their open water advice. It's looking equally as…"
Andy B replied to Daniel Heath's discussion Sports gels in a race"Interesting. I noticed the paper Tony mentions (from 2007) was cited in a 2012 paper which trialed 11 males - very similar conclusion. The later paper also has pretty graphs and charts:

Andy B replied to Teresa Redmond's discussion Crystal Palace Start Times"Hi Teresa, thanks but that's just how the numbers racked up when dumped into Excel.
Interesting that 60% of the 680 have no club affiliation at all."

Andy B replied to Teresa Redmond's discussion Crystal Palace Start Times"Pulled out 55 Windrushers from the CP data - won't be long before we comprise 10% of the entire field:

Andy B replied to Sarah Reynolds's discussion Please volunteer at our Aquathlon on 2nd June!"Perhaps I'm misremembering but did an email arrived telling me I'd volunteered again?
In any event, if there's cake I'm in."
Andy B replied to Simon Frusher's discussion Brockwell ParkRun URGENT need of marshals for this week (4th May)"This request is usually put out on Facebook - haven't seen anything at all this week?"
Andy B commented on Lenski's event 'Wednesday Spin \ Brick Session at Brockwell Lido'"Re Brick: I'm assuming this session is now as per last summer; an hour in spin and then charge up and down that bloody hill - sorry, interval training - for a bit?"
Andy B commented on Lenski's event 'Re-arranged Herne Hill Velodrome Session'"That was just ridiculous fun! Thanks so much to the committee and Claire for organising, to fate for giving us good weather, and also to all the hares and hounds."
Andy B replied to Katie Brunt's discussion Tri UK Bike Package"If you are spending a sizable sum don't forget to join British Cycling, I think I paid £13.50 via Direct Debit. Mmembership gives you 12% off at Wiggle, 10% at Halfords (inc. bikes), etc."
Andy B replied to paul's discussion Functional Threshold Power""Heart rate monitoring has been completely debunked"? That seems a little surprising.
Had a look around on Google and couldn't see anything. Have you a link?"

Hey Andy
Welcome to Windrush! Hope to see you soon!! Check out our events links. We have a 5 k park run on Sat at Brockwell Park against other tri clubs followed by a social breakfast, it is a free events and good chance to meet old and new members. We are trying to get as many members to join up on the Park Run website under Windrush and come along. Speed is not a problem, you can even walk around if you like! Hope to see you!
Cheers
Teresa
