The 2014 Triathlon training series will take place on Sundays August 31st, September 21st and October 12th. The start / finish location will be the Public Beach car park on Seven Mile Beach.

The build events will start at 6:45am with triathletes expected to have setup their equipment in transition by 6:30am and be down at the beach by 6:40am for a safety and course briefing.

Course details will be announced on the day at the 6:40am race briefing. Approximate distances are as follows.

Event 1: (Approx 30% of race day distance)

Olympic: 500m Swim, 8 Mile Cycle, 2 Mile Run

These informal training sessions serve as a tool for transition practice and final race day prep. There will be very minimal support and no time keeping other than your own wristwatch. There will be no Red Cross or RCIP for first aid, directions/traffic control, or bike technicians.

CITA are functioning as organizers for this event and will provide water for bottle refills, but there will not be any other hydration or food provided. Please be responsible for yourself in regards to gear, fuel, and hydration. Bike racks will be provided.

There is no fee for these events. We are looking forward to seeing you all there to share in the final training before the big event!

Whilst the training series serves as an ideal training ground for athletes preparing for Cayman’s flagship annual triathlon event – they are also open to any individual or team who may just welcome the opportunity to take part in just 1, 2 or all 3 of these increasing distance ‘mini-triathlons’.
