Test Triathlon 1 - 2 Days Away!
The first test tri of the season is almost upon us. If you are new to the club, the test triathlon is a race simulation training session that includes a 220m swim, 13km bike and a 3.6km run.
We run it six times a season, and each time you race you earn points based on how you finish against other ladies / men / juniors. You also get points for appearances and PBs and the points form a league that becomes quite competitive as the season goes on. It is also a great way to see how well you are getting on through the season.
The time line for Saturday is as follows:
7:30am - Sign-on / Set-up at heritage gym
8:15am - closing of sign-on (no late entries)
8:20am - Race Briefing
8:30am - First wave off
9:00am - Pool Clear
10:00am - All finished - Shower & head to Cafe Latte!
11:00am - Provisional results announced in Cafe Latte
Evening - Final results & points online
Given the numbers attending, over 20, we will be manually timing. Murt Keane is in charge of Test Tri 1. Remember, non Heritage members have to pay €10 to the gym to use the pool and showers.
I have some useful links below, including last years results and route guides, but before that some important information.
1. You must pre-register. Do this by going into your members section and selecting the Test Tri event of your choice. If Test Tri 1 doesn't appear you have already entered - confirm by checking your Member History.
2. Everyone is expected to help at one test tri in the season - you can select yours in your membership profile. Please keep this up to date as the club relies on people keeping their dates to help.
3. Finally, you must be a member of Triathlon Ireland to take part. We will be checking who is and who isn't before Saturday - please buy your membership before tomorrow evening if you haven't already. Associate Membership (€5) is sufficient.
