ROUTE
Beginning with a 400m single looped swim in a Lake, surrounded by greenery and bird life, this is certainly a tranquil triathlon. Exit the water and make your way across open parkland to transition for the first time.
Head out on your bike for 2 laps of our speedy closed roads course. Take the time to look and you won’t miss some of the natural flora and fauna on offer as you exit the estate. Take a sharp left and think sprint speed for 1.5km, then it’s another sharp left back into the estate for stretches of tree lined roads. You’ll navigate past grand estate buildings before spotting transition. With two laps of the course, expect your second to be faster as you begin to feel familiar with the roads and turns.
