Welcome to the 3rd race of the 2017 ACT Aquathlon Series, which is held tonight at Black Mountain Peninsula.
The first race is the TRYkids (long) at 5.30pm. The TRYkids (Long & Short) transition will be the same as last week, which is 200m south of the main transition area in the roped off swim area. The swim course will be the same as last week with one buoy to turn each (Slightly different to the course maps). We will confirm with you at the briefing. This will remain for the rest of the series.
Please note that the Short race will start before the Long course this week at 6am.
It will be warm temperate conditions for racing, with 26-28 degrees and sunshine forecast It is important to keep well hydrated and pace yourself accordingly to your ability from the beginning of the race. The water temperature has been above 26 degrees (final water temp will be confirmed tonight).There will be an aid station on the run with Pure Sports Nutrition - Australia and Water.
