PRE- RACE As a warm up and also to help the competitors ensure they know the route, ensure you familiarise yourself with start point, transition area, bike and run route and the all important finish line!
Have a stretch and a mini warm up, check that all your equipment, goggles, bike, helmet etc. fit and attached where they should be. The transition area is used between the swim and bike segments (T1), and the bike and run segments (T2). These areas are used to store bicycles, performance apparel, and any other accessories essential for preparing and gearing up for the next stage of the race. In addition, these areas provide a social headquarters prior to the race, and are an integral part of triathlete culture.

What age is it for???
As the cycle and run take place on public roads children must be accompanied by a responsible adult. For the swim, the parent/guardian must take responsibility, deciding in the first instance if their child can confidently swim the distance and also on the day assessing how they will cope with the weather conditions, particularly important this year as its a sea swim. It’s up to the parent to provide the support for the child if they feel it’s necessary..
