FAQ

  • What is a Triathlon?

    Triathlon is an endurance and versatility sport, in which the individual athlete carries out a swimming, a cycling, and a running segment, in that order, and with the clock running during transitions. It is an athletic contest won by completing the course with the fastest time.

  • What is an Aquathon?

    An Aquathon is similar to a Triathlon, but the bike leg is dropped so it becomes a swim/run race.

  • What if I have never done a Triathlon before?

    Whether your just starting out or a seasoned athlete, our training sessions and club events will help you get the best out of yourself. Our friendly members will welcome you and help you to find your groove, in both training and racing. Our weekly aquathons are a great place to start, you can choose your own skill level and work your way up. It’s a great way to meet new people and train and learn in a fun and supportive environment.

  • What if I am only intrested in personal fitness and dont want to race?

    Many of our members don’t compete regularly, or at all. They just value the camaraderie built of regularly training together – and nothing better to get you out of bed on a cold winters day than knowing your training partners are expecting you.

  • What Triathlon distance is right for me?

    The distance you choose really hinges on your comfort in the water. You can probably ride or run (or walk) the distance in longer events, but don’t put yourself in the water for a longer distance than you can handle. This is where training comes into play. As you spend more time swimming, biking and running, you will be able to go further and can take on longer triathlons. If you’re just starting out, you may want to consider a sprint distance race. Most beginners start with the sprint distance. This way they can get more comfortable with putting the three events together.

  • Who can do a Triathlon?

    Anyone can do a triathlon. If you’re in search of fitness and looking for a rewarding challenge, Triathlon is for you.
