Junior events
We will try to keep you informed of future junior events and encourage as many members to race. It's much more fun if you've got support from your Club members.
A full list of events can be found on the BTF website.
Hever Castle Triathlon - 24-25 September
There are a number of Junior events at the Hever Castle Triathlon on 24/25 September, but the junior races require a mountain bike as the cycle route is off-road.
They will accept entries to the Sprint Triathlon (the Anne Boleyn) from anyone 13 or over, as long as they are competent to complete the distance with the adults. This race will be completed on road bikes.
Along with the entry form, you will also need to sign and return the parental consent form, so it will be easier to send by post rather than online and have to submit the consent form separately.
Dorney Lake Triathlon - 10 July
One of the club championship events is the Dorney Lake Triathlon on 10 July.
This is one of the very few 'open water' junior triathlons in the country and takes place in and around the rowing lake at Eton - this will be the site of the 2012 Olympic Rowing regatta. It is an amazing venue and quite an experience! The swim is in the lake followed by a cycle around it and then a run alongside it!
Last year the water got so warm wetsuits were banned for the event... although the year before they were very useful!
We have open water training sessions at Haysden Lake on 14, 21 and 28 June at 18:30 and are hoping to run another session at Brockwell Lido before 10 July.
