The Sundowner Triathlon, East Yorkshire: 1.9Km

Comprising a 1.9km smooth open water lake swim in the safe man-made Allerthorpe Lake.

The swim at Allerthorpe Lakeland Park is a 1.9Km open water swim set in the shallow and clear Allerthorpe Lakeland Park. Water depth is no more than 5 ft, so it’s pretty easy to stand up should you feel the need; it’s a swim, though, so no walking is allowed. The swim is wetsuit legal, so for all of us “weaker” swimmers, the wetsuit will really help keep those legs up to reduce drag.

Allerthorpe Lakeland Park is well sheltered from the wind, so the water is flat and not choppy, making breathing so much easier, because other than the splashes from fellow Tri-athletes, there are no waves.

Having completed the swim, it’s an easy jog to the bike rack to locate your bike and prepare for the 90k bike leg.

The Sundowner Triathlon, East Yorkshire: 90km

A flat 90km road bike course around the quiet country lanes.

It’s fast and it’s flat – bring your TT bike or clip some aero bars on your road bike. This is why you did all those power sessions on the turbo.
