We are holding a training morning on Sunday 8th August. This is free to all race entrants. The idea is for competitors to check out the swim, bike and run course. Meet the organisers, get some advice from BTF Coaches and generally feel comfortable with what you will be racing 2 weeks later on the 22nd Aug!
This will be a relaxed, enjoyable morning but to give you some idea of plans:
The Team will be there from 8:45am, at the race start. Sovereign cafe on Bexhill Seafront. TN39 3DX
High Tide is at 9am. The open water section is not a coached session but there will be some athletes going for a social swim, might be a good chance for you to experience swimming in the sea. On the race day wetsuits are optional if the temperature is between 15 and 21 but we strongly advise athletes to wear a wetsuit. The currents can be very strong so it makes it safer and a lot quicker!!
We then plan to cycle the course in small groups around 10am. Dont worry there will be coaches to help athletes of all abilities, and this is not the race! Please ensure your bike is road worthy and you MUST have a helmet.
After the Bike you can securely store your bikes in our Race Trailer ( if you don't have your car) and we will then jog the run route, again there will paces to suit all and the aim is to know the run course not get a 5km PB!
It is totally optional how much you do. WE hope after the training morning you will go home confident on what will happen on race morning and during the event making it easier for you to concentrate on your race and doing your best!!
We hope as many of you as possible we be able to join us. If you would like to come along could you please email Paul at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it so we know numbers etc.
Further information on swim waves and exact times etc will be emailed out within the next few weeks leading upto the event but most information can be found on www.tltri.co.uk under competitor info.
Happy Training, hope to see you on the 8th for the training morning!
