First Timers?

The Long Course Weekend is a great event for learning what it takes to complete a triathlon. There are multiple distances available so athletes can benefit from choosing a distance that is best suited to them.

• Get all of your kit and equipment organised prior to the event.
• Start to fuel your body with the right food the week before
• Don’t try new products or methods on the day of the event – stick with fuelling products and sporting practices that you know and are comfortable with.
• Bananas are a great pre-race snack, but be careful you don’t overload before the swim for your own safety.
• Get to know the event rules in plenty of time. These are to ensure the safety and fairness of all athletes.
• Take full advantage of resources – read up before the event and attend any first timer or pre-race briefings that have been organised.
