Welcome to the Wessex Wizards Triathlon Club
The Wessex Wizards was born from a small group of triathletes who started Open Water Swimming at Weymouth in September 2007. That group of eight has now become 100! Although relatively new compared to some clubs, we are ambitious and continue to grow. Our aim is to achieve the British Triathlon Federations STAR accreditation.
We have BTF qualified coaches for our swimming sessions, with group cycling, turbo training and circuit sessions for all levels.
We have developed a strong link with Yeovil Town Road Running Club, who allow Wizard members to train with them at their coached running sessions.
Our membership is open to all. We have a good mix of ages and ability. Members enjoy competing in all race lengths from sprints to Ironman. If you are interested in more information then please contact the club at: info@wessexwizards.com

Wednesday Turbo Session
Cold Saturday Ride!
This Saturday saw 5 brave Wizards take on the now famous weekend ride with Andy 'stockings' Potts. Geoff Close, Rik Elkington, Nigel Hutton and Jody Foy were treated to some fantastic icy views, winter sunshine followed by coffee and doughnuts.
Fun in the Mud!
The third GDW MTB series race took place at Alfred Tower/Stourhead estate, with 2 Wessex Wizards taking to the start line Jody Foy and Karen Allum, a third Wizard would have taken part but a nasty fall last weekend left Matt Allum on the sideline taking photos. The course had been changed for this event including a nice little drop off which took a lot of courage for all the riders taking part.
The course was muddy and wet making riding tricky and daring.
The first wizard home was Jody Foy finishing strong and in 19 place. Karen Allum, first lady home (only lady) finished just behind Jody in 20th out of 23.
The next GDW series race is on the 11th of December, again taking part at Alfred Towers, check out the GDW website for more info or pop into Wheels Cycles in Gillingham and ask for either Matt or Charles.

Ironman 70.3 Galway by Liz Collins
There’s always an unexpected challenge when you race at Ironman 70.3’s I thought before the Race that it would be the long transition, eleven lampposts from entrance to my bike! But I was wrong delayed start & shortened swim was a little disappointing but you know me just get on with it, then the challenge did come in clouds of rain & wind on the scenic bike course. I so looked forward to my dry socks & shoes for the run “heaven”. Three laps of several out & back dog legs was the run course, collecting each band was another step closer to my goal. 7hrs 9mins 15 sec.
Organisers & Marshals made it a great event. Next year you ask? Maybe
