We will send an e-mail notice if there are late changes to our schedule. Please ensure the Junior Section Co-ordinator has your current e-mail address for these and other important notices Please ensure that you bring enough warm clothes with you - especially for the Friday sessions (cycling, running and Transitions). It can get pretty cold, even in the Summer. Athletes should bring a drink (water will do) and we suggest that several thin clothing layers is the best way to stay at the right temperature in all conditions. To avoid over-heating it would be most useful to make running shorts or thin running tights the last layer. It is important to have something warm to put on after the training. Racing One of the main reasons for doing Triathlon Training is, of course, doing Triathlon Racing. See the British Triathlon web site http://www.britishtriathlon.org for the full Triathlon Racing Calendar. Though triathlon is fundamentally an endurance sport Youths (Under 17) and TriStars (Under 15) always race over shorter distances. The table below gives typical distances for each age group. Note that the bike leg will be longer if it is on tarmac.
