The Yvonne trisuit currently selling at 10% off is not only selling at a bargain price but has received an outstanding review from the highly reputable international selling magazine Triathlete’s World!

The superb quality and lightness of our Revolutional Gloss and Energy Materials as well as the thoughtful design is plainly evident from Triathlete’s World reviewer Cath Pye’s remarks;

Trigirl UK is gearing up for its nationwide tour! Beginning this week we will be showcasing all of our high performance tri gear at events near you. First stop –  Sunday 27th June at Dartford Bridge Triathlon! We will have all of our collection available for you to try before you buy with trisuits, tri tops, shorts, jackets, tankinis, crop tops and accessories in the most gorgeous summer sizzling colours and fitted style.

Trigirl representative Stephanie tells us about her experience at Blenheim Palace Triathlon;

“On entering the grounds of Blenheim palace I was overwhelmed by the jaw-dropping beauty of the lush green countryside and the regality of the palace. Over 5,900 people filed in to the fields surrounding the competitor village and yet it was the most calm and collected registration I have ever come across! With the family in tow we were all directed in to the transition area, set within the pebbled courtyard in the centre of the palace and suitably carpeted for the event.

Team Trigirl member Inga tells us about her middle-distance Challenge Kraichgau event in Germany which she completed in under 7 hours! Well done Inga!

“Hooray! I did my first ever half Ironman last Sunday at Challenge Kraichgau. It was really tough but amazingly fun too!

I really enjoyed the swim completing it in 45min, which is a good time for me. It also helped that the water was a temperate twenty degrees and surprisingly clean! I was really impressed that I wasn’t the last one out of my wave to exit the water!

It always gives us great pleasure to hear from our Trigirl community across the globe. This week we received a delightful race report from Jill Buckenham, living across the continent in Spain, who took part in her very first triathlon at the end of May, the Madrid super sprint run by the Spanish Triathlon Federation. She not only completed the distance but managed to win her age category! Well done Jill! A fantastic achievement!

I just love, love, love being a triathlete and living in Brighton. This morning I was woken up bright and early by the sun shining through the gap in my curtains. I had a short coffee, then quickly shoved my wetsuit, hat, goggles, and a towel in my bag, put my swimming costume and some clothes on, grabbed my helmet, and jumped on my bike to ride down the hill into town. The seafront promenade was already buzzing with life before 9am.

We still have a few places left at our Trigirl novice training day in Brighton on 17th of July.

This training day is ideal for you if you are planning to race the South Coast Classic Triathlon on 14th of August, the Hever Castle triathlon on 25th of September or the Brighton Triathlon on 26th of September.

We only take a maximum of 15 ladies on this course, so don’t delay and sign up now.

Our Sandra trisuit received a fantastic review in the July issue of 220Triathlon magazine.

The 220 Test Centre comments “…the colouring helps flatter the body. Not only is it distinctive but we also loved the clever piping detail that helped slimline the body – great for those new to the whole Lycra-wearing experience. The suit also includes an integrated bra made from power mesh lining that felt supportive, while there’s plenty of cushioning for the bike, without that nappy-like bulk that interferes with comfort.”

Thanks 220Triathlon for this excellent verdict.

Just when you thought you had heard of every triathlon event under the sun! Eurostar are holding the first ever triathlon event across three cities in one day! The newly organized Tri-City-Athlon includes a swim in Paris, bike in Brussels and run in London and it is left to Trigirl’s triathlon star Katharine Vile to bring home some Tri glory but not before she gains enough support to enter!

Trigirl fully supports Katharine Vile in her quest to take part in the race, this is what Katharine has to say for herself; “ My first triathlon was after I’d suffered from the illness ME for many years – to see if I could manage the challenge and I took the opportunity to raise money for the ME Association. I survived the race and caught the tri bug! The Tri-City-Athlon would be an incredibly exciting challenge.

There’s barely an athlete out there who has never had injury worries. Some more, some less. And while I used to look down on athletes who are ‘always injured’, I have changed my view over the years, mainly for my own benefit. I still think that injury should not be accepted as unavoidable. However, unless you are injured because you are making a crucial mistake in your training, like ramping up volume or intensity so your body reaches breaking point, thinking less of yourself because you have an injury is not going to help the situation.

Yippee! The open water swimming season is upon us! Even those of you extremely scared of cold water (like me!) could enjoy a lovely 17°C in lakes around London this morning. Fantastic! You have no excuse not to dive in and enjoy the lovely open water.

If you haven’t swum in a lake for a long time and prefer to get used to your wetsuit in a safe environment, you might want to start swimming in one of London’s  lidos that welcome wetsuit swimmers. However, remember that chlorinated water will eventually damage the wetsuit neoprene material. Make sure you rinse your wetsuit well after you’ve been using it in chlorinated water. Best to leave it to soak in clear water in your bath tub before hanging it up to drip dry on a coat hanger.
