Jersey Triathlon

For those of you that think one sport isn't hard enough, then try out the Jersey 25th Anniversary Triathlon.  Sadly I remember the first one.  I was the lead bike (on a Specialized Stump Jumper) for the run.  Didn't realize people could run so fast.  I was knackered at the end!

Anyway, here's the info.  Why not get two mates, put one in speedo's and the other in pumps and form a team to do the event.  How hard can it be?

The Swim 
The 1500m swim circuit begins with a beach start with two laps of a 750m triangular course in the sheltered sandy bay of St Aubin.  Canoes and inflatable craft will provide swim cover.

The Bike 
The 40km bike circuit takes a scenic loop of the west of the Island, traveling first along the south coast to St Aubin and rising up a gentle hill to the south-west corner.  The bike course is not on closed roads but marshals are stationed at key junctions.

The Run 
The 10km run is two laps of a 5km flat course along part of the cycle track on the St Aubin’s sea front.  Drinks will be provided on the run and at the transition/finish area.

The event is open to men and women of varied experience through novices, intermediates and experienced Triathletes, together with those wishing to form a team of 2 or 3 individuals.

There is no official cut off time; however the JTC requests that all competitors enter with the intention of completing the Olympic distance in less than 4 hours.
