Diary of a Kona qualifier
Those of you who braved the snow blizzard last December to join
us for the Triahtlon Zone Christmas party should not only have found
Peter Slijkhuis's presentation on nutrition inspiring
but may also have been pleased to have had the opportunity to meet
such a great triathlete. Peter's 2010 triathlon season is off to
a fantastic start: with a 22.30min swim, 1h01min bike and 38min
run he came to an overall time of 2h04min which gave him 3rd
overall at the Windsor Triathlon and 1st
in his age group category. Not to mention his performance at the
Lanzarote Ironman... A good start for this summer's
training for Kona!
His Diary
of a Kona qualifier makes for great reading.
Congratulations Peter!

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS TO EMPLOYEES?
Cylcescheme
gives employees access to the UK's best bikes and safety equipment
with big savings - up to 50% over retail prices - created by economies
on Vat, Income Tax and National Insurance. If your employer has
not yet signed-up with Cyclescheme you could always make a case
for it! Visit the official Cyclescheme
Website for more details on how everyone can benefit.
HOW DOES IT WORK? In
brief, the employer buys the bikes and safety accessories at full
retails price, including Vat, which is reclaimed, if applicable.
The balance is recovered from a reduction in the employee's gross
salary, and employers also benefit from worthwhile National Insurance
contribution savings. In addition, employers may realise Corporation
Tax savings of 19% to 40% based on capital asset depreciation.
