The Nissan / BRW Corporate Triathlon National Series 2010 sees thousands of employees in the Corporate world forming teams, sporting swimming caps, lycra, bike shoes and runners all for the glory of competing in the largest Corporate Triathlon Series in Australia!

Last years event not only saw big names in business competing, but big names in the sporting arena also, including Nathan Buckley, Daniel MacPherson, David Schwarz, Mark Beretta, Rick Olarenshaw and Mia Greaves amongst the 5000 other corporate competitors!

The event involves a 400m Swim, 10km Cycle and 4km Run, in teams of three.  Each team member completes the whole course and times are aggregated to reach your overall team time.  The event is fantastic for Corporate Organisations of all sizes to take part in as it:

• is a great motivator for your employees to have a fitness related goal, which will inevitably improve their health and productivity
• is an opportunity for team-building
• is an ideal way for employees to relieve stress and reduce illness
• promotes an energised workforce!

This session will see us going through the mounting and dismounting of the bike followed by the run off the bike and the run to the finish. You will learn the skills involved in making this transition sharp and fast, increasing the skills of scooting, finding a safe and easy path to exit to, running with the bike, and finding your transition point efficiently. This will then be placed all together and you will do your first mini tri for the first time!

Brief and practical on open water swimming, getting your wetsuit on and off, using lubricants and maintenance of the wetsuit, how to "read" the water, preparation and warm up. Participants will practice race start, navigation and breathing and handling different open water conditions, entering and exiting the water at speed, navigation, breathing, pack swimming, turning the buoys, finding large land marks and preparing to exit the water.
