Tri Events Web Site and Triathlon England
in General Chat
I'm keen to enter more triathlons next year and would like to start looking at which events to enter and need to find a good web site where they are listed together with the relevant race details - there seem to be a few around but not found one thats any good.
Also, is it worth joining Triathlon England - i cant see that there are many benefits?
Finally, anyone belong to one of the many on-line tri-clubs and if so, are they worth joining.
Thanks as always

I'm not totally au fait with it at the moment but basically the benefits are
* small reduction in race fees
* some included insurance
err....
that's about it. If you are coaching tri then you have to be a member for insurance AIUI. If you want to race for GB as an AGer you need to be a member.
Otherwise if the insurance suits what YOU need and you'll be entering a few races then you might view it as cost effective.
Oh - if you race abroad, especially France it may make your entry to races easier (that was the case a few years ago anyway. France has some laws about participants needing a doctor's letter but BTF membership may be the equivalent.??)
depends what you are looking for really from your online tri club experience?

I have joined the BTF, i dont think i get my money back on race licences but you are insured to a point when you train. I think joining is worth while as it does help does other things.
