Is there a basic fitness level required at entry level?

Completing a triathlon is no mean task, so in order to enter one you’ll have to be pretty fit and competent in all three disciplines: swimming, cycling and running. Howver, the benefit of training in three disciplines means you won’t over-stress muscles or joints. There are several different distances from sprint distance up to Ironman. Sprint Distance races tend to be pool based so you don’t require a wetsuit. Wetsuits are available to hire if you decide to race in open water.

Any big events coming up that we should know about?

Big races on the UK calendar include Windsor Tri and London Triathlon with activities over the whole weekend. You will find 100’s of races going on through out the country between April and October.
