I have in my hand the latest Lake tri shoes; the CX311C, which have kindly been sent to us by our new sponsor. 

I recently took part in arguable the most prestigious ironman distance race, par Hawaii World Championships. 

Nick our resident dualthete won the entire Hillingdon duathlon series recently. 

In the 20 years this race has been run, it has always be been blessed with great weather, nobody knows why but the sun always seems to shine for this race. 

Wrecsam triathlon has hosted this established race since 2003. 

Nick Shasha is our specialist elite duathlete; with an extremely quick run and devastating bike, making him one of the best duathletes in the country. 

Here’s an account of TORQ’s Martin Goodlad kicking off the tri season in Scotland. 

Here’s an account of TORQ’s Nick Shasha smashing the European Duathlon championships, Nancy, France last weekend. 

James Emery launched the triathlon season with a third-place finish out of a field of 400, at the picturesque Chirk triathlon run by Wrecsam Triathlon www.wrecsamtri.org.uk

The sprint triathlon was sold out within two weeks in November so expectations were high with a full field including a number of top sponsored triathletes. 

Nick Shasha has been with Torq for 3 years now and in that time has represented the Great Britain Age group squad in the European and World duathlon championships 3 times and won numerous duathlons and 5k’s/10k’s. 

TORQ have confirmed that they will support a team of promising ‘age group’ and ‘Pro’ triathletes for 2010.
