Tri / Duathlon Section

Captain - Clare Unsworth

Astley and Tyldesley Roadrunners have an ever increasing section of members looking at doing other sports such as swimming, cycling, duathlon, triathlon and even ironmans.

For the 2012 season, the Tri Club will be entering the following events.

There is a mix of Triathlons, Open Water Swims and a duathlon.

Triathlons are an expensive hobby costing £25 -75 to per race entry so we think it's safe to assume there won't be many people doing every event in the list.
Last year the Fylde Trilogy races were very popular and if you are new to triathlons and fancy trying one, a race in this series is the one to go for. They are cheap, friendly and flat and should have a good turn out from the rest of the Tri Team.
This year, quite a few people are taking on the challenge of an Olympic distance for the first time - the general consensus at the moment is that Chester Tri is the one we're going to go for.

If you would like to get involved in any of these events and want to know more feel free to contact Clare Unsworth, Dale Kenyon or any of the tri team. There is a huge amount of experience within A&T in all of these areas re: biking, swimming, kit, training so don't be afraid to ask!
