Following on from last year's successful event we are pleased to announce the return of the BananaMan for 2009.

The BananaMan is over the ¾ triathlon distance comprising an 800m open water swim in the clear, clean waters of the rowing lake before taking to the closed, flat road circuit for a 6-lap bike course covering 30k. The final 7.5k run follows a 3 lap loop along the side of the rowing tank on the tarmac paths.

In order to appeal to as many triathletes as possible of all abilities we are running the event both as an individual race, Relay Teams and a TeamTimeTrial. (In the team events-mixed teams will be classed as Male.) In the Relay event there should be three people per team with one doing each sector and then handing over to the next.

The TeamTimeTrial is a new innovation where three athletes race together as a team. All 3 swim, cycle and run together as a unit, and all three have to finish together to score. Teams can be from pubs, clubs, work, anywhere really! They should try to wear the same race kit or T-shirt. Drafting will be permitted within the team.
 
For 2009, the BananaMan Team Time Trial event has also been designated the London and SouthEast Team Time Trial Championships. Be sure to tick the box on the on-line entry form if you would like your entry to include racing in the London or SouthEast Team Time Trial Championships

The event will be held at the Olympic rowing venue for the 2012 Olympic Games. Dorney Lake offers a clean open water swim, followed by a closed bike loop around the Lake, and finally the run goes down the side of the lake, making it the perfect course for beginners and seasoned triathletes alike. It's great for spectators, they can see you on each lap.

Full on-site parking means you can come and go while the event is taking place, we have showers and toilets aplenty and there is catering and an on-site triathlon store provided by triandrun.
