Hi All,
I've entered two triathlons so far this year, one is end of may, the other is mid july. The first is 400m swim, 20k bike, 5k run. The second is 600m swim, 42k bike, 10k run.
My question is if it would be worth while doing a complete run through of the triathlon course as if racing minus the transitions and doing it at less than race pace, a couple of weeks before the events?
The swims are both public pool swims, so easy enough.

If you're close enough then i would every single time.

so I live here and will be practising the route!
Failing that I'll try and at least drive the course to get a bit of a feel for it.
Very useful, it showed me that the "small hill" as described is in fact (by the standards of what I'm used to) a very large and steep hill indeed [:D]
I'm doing the same tri in 3 weeks time and I've already cycled the course twice and intend to do it at least one more time before I compete.
I'm riding the Windsor course on Sunday and hopefully a couple more times before June.
Hoping it is as flat as I've been told because I am the slowest cyclist ever and hills don't help!
It will prob be on there website.
Def do it - there's nothing like being prepared!!
I'm really quite good at hills though. its really only travelling at any sort of speed i have problems with....
