Training Day

Date not yet finalised for 2008

On Sunday January 14th we are organising a training/course familiarisation day for any athletes who would like to go round the course prior to race day.

There will be experienced triathletes on hand to offer help and advice on any aspect of the aquathlon - be it what should I wear, what will transition be like, what should I eat/drink etc etc.

The day will start at 9.30 am with a general aquathlon talk, after which you will be split into smaller groups. There will be the opportunity for everyone to have a swim in the pool and to talk about the swim run transition. There will be someone to guide you around the run route (how many laps you do is up to you!) at a very steady pace. At the end of the run there will be plenty of time for any final questions you may have. Finish time will be at about 12.30.

The emphasis of the day is to provide help and advice to novice/inexperienced athletes and allow you to go round the course at a leisurely pace. It is not a day for fast training.

If you would like to attend please contact Duncan Bawler at Wellington Sports Centre on 01823 663010
