Hey, basically i’m 15 YOA and i regularly swim, run and bike. I have watched all the traithlons in london, Ironman Hawaii, Kona etc.. I am really interested in doing 2011 super sprint triathlon and maybe get a good spot in the top 10. I don’t have a club, although i know people who don’t but have done these events. I would just like to know what its like any advice for people who have gone through this, any tips on perhaps getting a team in surrey and getting noticed by the GB team.
Thanks alot!
A super sprint or sprint triathlon is probably the best way to enter the sport-something I can say from experience. I hope the following tips help you:
*A quick search on google came up with three tri clubs in surrey-Phoenix tri, Farnham tri club and Viceroys. As a junior triathlete, I can tell you from experience that a tri club is very beneficial. They often have training advice on the website, and you can get more from talking to members. They often do shorter races for juniors. My tri club (in Guernsey) even ran a training camp for juniors. I would check out the web and see where your nearest club is, and contact them.
*If you are serious about training, I would buy one of the training manuals around. I got the Triathlete’s Training Bible a few years ago, which helps you plan your training for every day of every year, based on your strengths, weaknesses and goals. It also has a section of specific junior needs, which I found really beneficial when I began triathlon. If not, a more expensive but worthwhile option is to look for a coach-there is a list at britishtriathlon.org, some of which are specific junior coaches.
*The GB team choose people to represent the country at the age group championships for Europe and the World at three races. These are the Grendon Triathlon, Rother Valley and the Big Cow triathlon. However, you must be around 17 to enter this. There are a number of events for people your age-I would recommend the Hyde Park triathlon, which is the age group branch of the ITU World Championship Series event. There is an U17 age group for a sprint distance triathlon (which I am entering for 2011), and a aquathlon event-involving swimming and running, for the same age group. I would also recommend entering a race such as the Windsor of Blenheim triathlons (Blenheim is the only one of these two to run a super sprint), or the London triathlon, as they have seperate junior races.
Hope this helps-best of luck with your training!
