BETH POTTER – Has turned to triathlon in the build-up to the Tokyo Olympics after fulfilling her running ambitions by making the Rio Olympics at 10,000m.
The 25 year-old has quit her job as a physics teacher in London and moved to Leeds to be part of the same triathlon training group as Alistair and Jonny Brownlee, plus Non Stanford – a former teenage running star who won the world triathlon title in 2013.
BETH told The Herald newspaper she was excited about the move but added: “At the same time I’m a bit worried. It’s a new challenge, but I’ve had loads of support and already”.
As a teenage swimmer BETH won Scottish national medals, but has little cycling background.
BETH is not immediately turning her back on running, though, and plans to run the trials for the IAAF World Championships in London this summer. “Perhaps I would have wanted to do better at the Olympics but triathlon is something I’ve always wanted to have a go at. And it was the right time to make the move”.
“The next Olympics are another four years away so I have the time if I want to go back. But now I want to give it a crack for six-12 months and see how I fare

WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS 2017 KIT CARRIERS – KATIE ALCOCK who managed our very successful London 2012 team, has volunteered to run our kit carrier team at London 2017. The IAAF World Championships and World Para Athletics Championships only happen every two years and for them both to be held in London after the UK hosting both the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games is not only history-making but exciting for the sport and for those who live, study and work in London.
England Athletics will be working alongside the Local Organising Committee (London 2017 Ltd) for both Championships, to recruit teams of Kit Carriers. This offers the opportunity for approximately 180 young people to experience being part of the Championships and for some to get a taste of volunteering for the first time. Teams will have the opportunity to volunteer for either one or both Championships. The role of Kit Carrier is invaluable for ensuring that athletes can feel safe in the knowledge that their belongings will be looked after, allowing them to concentrate on the task of being competitive and trust that they will be able to access their belongings after they have competed.
Shaftesbury Barnet Harriers have been invited to apply to bring a team of 16-18yrs olds, who will carry out the role of Kit Carriers for all competing athletes. Each team will require 10 young athletes’ and 2 supervisors. Please find more information in relation to this opportunity by clicking here http://www.londonathletics.org/kit-carriers-2017
If you’re interested in volunteering as part of the SBH team, please email KATIE ALCOCK at katie_alcock87@hotmail.co.uk now to let her know your availability as she will be managing the application process. Timelines: Deadline for applications – 5 February 2017 – 12 Midnight, Outcome: April 2017, Completion of team member profile – End of May 2017, Induction including ‘run through’ of duties – June/July 2017 – Good luck!

NORTH WEST LONDON LEAGUE – Information on the fourth fixture of five which takes place on Saturday 18 February at Hampstead Heath Extension.
The race courses are all within an area known as Hampstead Heath Extension, off Hampstead Way. This area has not previously been used for cross country running although it is not far distant from the much loved and often used Parliament Hill Fields. The courses devised by London Heathside within the Extension area should work well for young athlete events being closely confined and spectator friendly. The slight drawback is that there is no car parking within the parkland area and some of the nearby roads have restricted parking. Car sharing or better still use of public transport is advised. (Golders Green Underground Station is about half mile). To assist you in getting to the park area the postcode for SatNav users is (NW11 7DP)
