A few of you might remember the original Nottingham Sprint Triathlon? Outlaw is bringing it back and you can choose to start early or enjoy a lie in. Totally flat, closed circuit sprint racing at its best!

https://www.outlawtriathlon.com/nottingham-half/sprint/

This open water sprint distance triathlon comprises a 750m swim in Regatta Lake, a flat, multi lap bike course and a 5k run – all within the traffic-free grounds of the National Water Sports Centre and Holme Pierrepont Country Park.

On World Mental Health Day we’re highlighting Liam Colebrook’s story, from considering taking his life in Sept 2022, to volunteering on the Outlaw X finish line in Sept 2023.

He travelled the world as a construction company director, had completed long distance triathlons and was a proud Dad, but throughout these perceived ‘successful’ years, Liam struggled with his mental health.

“In September 2022, I was riddled with addiction, full of anxiety and suffering severe depression. I reached a point that I had to choose to live or do the unimaginable.

“I chose to enter a residential rehabilitation programme. This time was the toughest I have faced, and I hope no one else has to go through what I did. However, in February I began to see daylight.

“By May, my mental health was improving; I was feeling better than I ever had before. This coincided with Outlaw Half Nottingham. Into my inbox arrived an email asking for volunteers on a bike feed station. I jumped at the chance.

“I camped in the volunteer camp; the first time ever being content in my own company, and my kids did the Future Outlaw (they loved it). The ‘summer of Outlaw’ began.

“I volunteered at Holkham and did the 10km. The drive home to Derbyshire was long, but it was clear I was finding my tribe and was in a good place within the tri community.

“I volunteered and camped again at Outlaw Nottingham and did the Outlaw Swim. By now I had gone public with my challenges and begun to do talks to help others. I couldn’t have done this without the confidence and mental holiday that Outlaw gave me.

“Finally, came Outlaw X. This time I brought the kids with me. I had no money, despite working full time (addiction is expensive!) and this was our summer holiday. We set up the Outlaw flags on Friday, were on a water station on Saturday, and on Sunday we gave medals to finishers.

“But it was more than medal giving; as the winners crossed the line, it was exactly one year to the hour that I reached out to a charity that ended up saving my life.

“I can’t overstate the impact that this summer had on my recovery. I was spending time outdoors, giving back to a community I enjoyed being part of, living a healthy active life with likeminded people and getting to spend quality time with my children.

“For those struggling with their mental health, these are the steps I’d urge anyone to try; seek the right professional help for you, remain healthy, find something positive to focus on and enjoy being active outdoors with your tribe.”

If you're looking for a competition opportunity this summer, our friends at Tri Society will be putting on the Triathlon Relays event on 29 August.

All you need is a team of four, and the fitness to complete a 500m swim, 15km bike ride and 5km run. Visit https://www.trisociety.co.uk to find out more.

The Relays take place at the National Water Sports Centre in Nottingham, where there is a lot of open outdoor space to spread out into and, for this year only (we hope), tagging has been replaced by big screens letting you know when your team mate has finished. Maybe see you there?

Finally there is a little light on the horizon...as we start to get unlocked. Congratulations to everyone involved in the test swims at Activities Away - venue & selected swimmers. It’s going to be a learning curve, with small steps but fingers crossed that we will all cross a finishline in 2020.
Stay safe out there everyone.

Lovely day but pretty sad sight...OSB HQ looking all unkept & lonely. Can’t wait until we all return back to our offices & start organising events again. In the meantime, stay safe everyone & big thanks to those that have supported us!!!
