The Cardiff Triple
The Cardiff Triple is a team event (teams of four) held in an enclosed stadium, which means it is an excellent spectator event, really good fun, and ideal for an inter-club race day. It is three very short triathlons in one, the first leg is as follows:
- 200m swim (in a lovely on-site pool)
- 5,000m bike (on an outdoor velodrome)
- 1,000m run (inside the bike track)
There is a 5-minute break after the last competitor finishes and then the second leg starts:
- Run
- Bike
- Swim
Again there is a 5-minute break before the final leg:
- Rolling bike start (which is great fun)
- Swim
- Run
Times are aggregated and the fastest team wins! There are several "waves" during the day, organised by ability so that each wave is competitive and there is also a junior wave.
This Event is on the same day as the National Relays in Nottingham 2nd August so we have some options around which events we would like to enter teams. Foe the athletes that would like to test themselves at the highest level we can look at putting teams into the National - Please let me know if you would like to enter either event and we can see the level of support.
