OLYMPIC WEEK IS BACK FOR A 6TH YEAR!!
The challenge is to do an Olympic distance triathlon every day for a week (this includes New Year’s Day !!), as a personal challenge. Last year 26 members completed the whole 7 days (13 males and 13 females) and a further 39 did between 1 and 6 days, an amazing 291 full Olympic distances
Olympic distance is:
• Swim 1500m = 10.5 kms for the week
• Cycle 40kms = 280 km for the week
• Run 10kms = 70 kms for the week
• Coffee at CIBO = At least 7 times
This is a personal training challenge. It is NOT a daily race!!
The base plan is to swim from Henley every morning at 6:00am, jump on the bikes after the swim and then follow up with the run and a coffee at CIBO. The course will change regularly to keep it interesting and depending on weather conditions we may even change the order of the legs.
However, you do not have to follow our plan – if you want to, you can spread your challenge across the day. For example, you could swim early, run at lunchtime and ride in the evening. It’s about your personal challenge but you must finish within the day and report your completion back to me.
Some of you may choose to do the whole thing at a moderate pace in a group. There will be a cycling group leaving together each day after waiting for the last swimmers to finish.
All Club members are welcome to join the morning group at any time for any part of the activity although you will have to make your own estimate of where we will be at any given time.
There is no cost to participate.
In the event of water quality issues at Henley, the swim would be moved to Grange and if that is not possible then a pool. A lake swim and transition is also likely to be included as a variation.
We will advise of each day’s course the night before. There may be occasions in the event of extreme heat that the order of the legs will change to avoid running in the heat.
Communications will be by Facebook Messenger so if you wish to be included, please let me know. The Group is LakerOlympic24.
There will be a presentation function at Pirate Life in Port Adelaide at 3:00pm on the final day with the usual dubious celebratory keepsakes for those completing the whole 7 days
Please direct any questions to me [email protected], 0419 378 429
