JUNIOR ILLAWARRA TRI TEAM

7-11 YEAR OLDS

At every club triathlon during the season 7-11 year olds may compete in an aquathon of 100m swim and 1km run.

The events are non-competitive and are based around fun and fitness.

Session starts at 8am before the adult race.

12+ YEAR OLDS

Juniors who are 12 years and over may compete in the club triathlon events, 400m swim, 14km cycle and 3.6km run.

The course is multi lap, so athletes may complete a shorter distance and build up to the full distance if they wish.

The cycle is on a closed road, however local cars may still be present on the course, it is recommended, but not compulsory that athletes complete a club Safe Cycle Skills class before attending the race.

SAFE CYCLE SKILLS –with Mark Scott

Who should attend?

The sessions are aimed towards 7-14 year olds, however athletes of any age will benefit from developing and practising the cycle skills and are most welcome to attend.

Why attend Safe Cycle Skills?

There is a difference between being able to ride a bicycle and ride a bicycle safely, both for the riders safety and the safety of others.

Safe Cycle Skills will teach correct braking technique, starting and stopping, cornering, bicycle control, being aware of your surroundings, hazard avoidance.

For older and/or more experienced athletes topics will be covered such as bunch riding, riding in traffic, following a wheel, correct cycling technique and bicycle maintenance.

Athletes may also progress onto transition sessions if requested.

Cost

$8 – 1 hour session
$15 – 1 hour session, includes bicycle hire.
