Tip of the Day: Try The Distance

Do a “practice event” at your own pace. You will learn a lot that will help you during the race. Help your child think about things like:

  • Pacing (for example, what pace do you need to do the swim so the bike and run are doable?)
  • Practice your transitions
  • How will you feel after riding and then transition to the run?
  • Can you do the entire swim without resting?

Remember the Cecil Field Aquatic Center an indoor facility and is open and admission to swim is $1

Open Swim Schedule:
Mon-Fri: 8-10 a.m. and 1-6 p.m.
Saturday: 9 a.m. - 6 p.m.
Sunday: 1 - 6 p.m.
Lap swim only 6 - 8 p.m. Monday – Thursday

Last weekend we mapped out what a 6 mile bike ride on the wide sidewalk down Bartram Park Road looks like. If you start on the sidewalk in front of Bono’s this map marks the 1.5 and 3.0 mile mark where you could turn around and come back based on your child’s distance during the race.
