Everything you need to know if you are thinking about your first triathlon or aquabike (swim and cycle only)
Black Country Triathletes are holding a novice training session 1-5pm.
This includes all the knowledge you need on equipment and the race day experience.
We set up a transition area to practice the "swim to bike" and "bike to run" changeover. We will have a technique-based swim session.
Hi all - I hope your training is going well and you are looking forward to the novice training session this Saturday, 21st March
When you arrive at the centre, please leave your bikes in or locked to your cars.
Where and when
Wombourne Leisure Centre
Ounsdale Rd, Wombourne, Wolverhampton WV5 8BJ
Saturday, 21st March 1-5 pm
Kit to bring:
• Bike
• Helmet
• Swim Costume – either Tri Suit / Lycra shorts or swim costume or baggy shorts (fine if that is all you have)
• Swimming Goggles
• Race Kit: Either - Tri Suit Or: Swim Costume and an Old Baggy T-shirt and possibly shorts
• Running Shoes
• Bike shoes for transition practice (if you are not using your run trainers on the bike).
• Old Towel (to lay your transition kit on)
• Windproof / Waterproof jacket (obviously depending on weather)
The session format
We will be signing everyone in from 1 pm. We will cover an introduction to triathlon and BCT, what happens on race day, and an overview of the equipment.
We will then move outside for transition practice. We will have a small transition area set up and go through the correct layout of the race kit and practice bike mount dismount.
Please bring all the kit you envisage using in the race itself – see the list at the start of this email.
We will start the swim session at 3:30 pm.
This element is going to be technique-based, with stroke correction as the focus rather than distance swimming.
Any questions, don't hesitate to ask, see you all on Saturday
Thanks
Andy
