ENTRY DEADLINE: 9PM MONDAY 14th MAY 2012 (OR EARLIER IF FULL)

Do you need help to prepare you for your first triathlon? Or do your want to improve your times this year? The elite athletes, specialists and coaches of theTriLife.com will all be on hand to present sessions focusing on all three disciplines of the triathlon and give you a chance to practice your transitions.

Starting an open water triathlon with confidence is key for every competitor, and our aim is to provide you with all the advice and support to help you achieve this. The training will be aimed at both complete novices doing their first triathlon as well as those who have completed 1-2 triathlons but still feel like they need help on improving their triathlon technique early in the season. The sessions will provide you with both practical and theoretical advice.

These are just some of the things you will cover:

Swim:  Open water swimming techniques including group starts, course sighting, turning, removing wetsuit etc. There will be special provision for nervous and first-time open-water swimmers.

Bike:  Bike set-up and body position, bike handling skills including drinking on the bike, turning and efficient pedalling - and what do you do if you have a puncture!

Run:  Efficient run technique, good warm up and post exercise stretching, pace judgement, correct shoes.

Transition: Kit layout, options to save time, applicable rules.

Numbers will be limited so early application is required.

Wetsuit Rules

AllAboutWetsuits

We are often asked if wetsuits have to be worn at our races. But the wearing of wetsuits in triathlon is governed by British Triathlon rules and is totally dependent on water temperature one hour before the start of the race.

Water Temperature Wetsuit Rule
Water temperature less than 14°C wetsuits are COMPULSORY 
Water temperature between 14°C and 22°C wetsuits are OPTIONAL (i.e. you can choose whether to wear one or not)
Water temperature above 22°C wetsuits are BANNED

We do say that wetsuits in fact help with buoyancy and warmth, so we strongly recommend that you wear one if they are optional. We will keep you updated with water temperature as we get closer to the event.
