Off Road Triathlon Training Session
A fantastic 3 in 1 session to include a lake swim, tough and technical mountain bike ride and on and off road trail run. This session aims to hone your off road triathlon skills with a challenging course and slick transitions. A great opportunity to train in all three disciplines in one go without the pressure of a race.
Off-road triathlon training offers athletes a unique and exciting way to prepare for triathlon races that take place on challenging, unpaved terrain. These demanding conditions require athletes to adapt their skills and strategies, as the diverse courses can be physically and mentally taxing.
More like a Half Ironman than an Olympic Distance Triathlon, off road triathlon or Xterra as its known, challenges your skills in swim, bike and run like no other multi-sport event.
