Sprint Distance Triathlon!

[Alan Cook]

The future plan is provide an annual triathlon out of Stevenage.

I am hoping to arrange a few 'dummy' runs over the next couple of months which will tie in nicely with training for you guys!

I will need to hire the swimming pool so there will be costs involved but if you are interested in trying something a bit different, I need your help!

I will try and book a few lanes for Sunday the first of Nov! You will need to able to swim (400m) and have access to a bike!

The distances will be 400m swim, 20k bike, 5k run.

im up for it if you still let me borrow your bike yeee haaa and i want a medal please because a personal trainer once said you only do these things to get a medal!

[Alan Cook]

Medals... how about a paperweight with 'cowman' written on it!?

[emma]

don't cast off your excuses for medals! you should be proud of your paper weight and being a cowman...i mean you get to say 'i am a cowman' oooozes coolness factor

It's gonna be cold! but not to worry Lee has plenty of kit we can all borrow!
They also have plenty of mirrors and hair dryers,so we can look our best as we leave the pool!!

I could be up for a go at this on 07 November, depending on the time. Also, i'llneed to find a half-decent bike!

[Duncan]

Not one to be picky, but a sprint-distance is 800m swim super sprint is 400m,( can you tell i've got a new book).Full triathlon distances as follows...(on average)
1.super sprint-400m swim-10k bike-2.5k run
2.sprint-800m swim-20/25k bike-5k run
3.Olympic-(sanctioned for the Olympic games,first used in 2000 games)1500m swim-40k bike
-10k run.
4.Half-Iron-2k swim-90k bike-20k run.
5.IRONMAN -4k swim-180k bike-42.2k(26.2miles) run.

They seem alot longer when you write it down!
