The following presentation has been put together by the Triathlon section of SAC.The idea is to give a better insight and recommendations for fellow club members on some good quality multi sport events.

If you do enter any of these events, can you please inform Joan Lennon (joan.lennon@gmail.com), and then she will update her internal participant SAC list. This will help for anyone who wants to car-share or train together for a specific event. (Plus it will help bond club members). Go on, enter a race or two, maybe you will surprise yourself and really enjoy it?

Description; Another local event. You can enter individually or why not get some friends together and enter as relay team, I.e a different person for each section!?!?! (within SAC we have some great athletes that focus more on one sport, thus getting a quality team together should not be hard). The swim takes part at the Yacht club in Goring (thus a sea swim) followed by the bike, heading to Ashington via the Long Furlong (A280) and back. The run is then carried out on the promenade.
