During August bank holiday weekend, the National Watersports Centre in Nottingham plays host to the annual National Club Relay Triathlon Championships. Teams travel from all over the country to compete as part of this festival of triathlon, in order to claim the title, raise the profile of their club, or just to have a bit of fun!
This year, Rochdale Triathlon Club took its largest ever contingent, with 10, 4-person teams competing, plus numerous supporters and friends. The format is slightly chaotic, as with any mass relay, a wristband must be passed between team members after each leg of each discipline. With the 40 competitors all competing a 500m swim, a 15km bike, and a 5km run, there were many opportunities to lose team members and metaphorically drop the baton amongst the 180 other teams and 700+ competitors.

The sun shone on a windy day at Holme Pierrepoint, and athletes and supporters enjoyed the atmosphere as all 10 teams managed to survive the mass start swim, successfully negotiate busy corners on the bike, and find team members in busy transition areas on the run.
For many members, this was their first taste of the self-proclaimed “chaos” of the national relays. Derek Wormald said “It was great to see old and new faces at the relays in Nottingham this weekend, and I had a great time. Judging by the new Rochdale Triathletes that I met at the weekend, the club has a great, positive and fun future!”.
