The local community certainly know how to support their Triathlons and past experience suggests a European style crowd providing plenty of noisy support to help you make it to the finish with good humour and a smile! This is an excellent late season triathlon making the most of the warmer sea temperatures, and the projected tide on race day should ensure calm water. This is ideal for all levels, especially beginners. The organisers will be facilitating coached sessions catering for all abilities, from beginners to experienced seniors. Coaching will be provided by the regions swim coach specialist, Neil Bowers. This was a very popular series in 2009 and we have better things planned for 2010!
