Kurnell Sprint Triathlon – 24 Nov 2019

/in , /by

New to triathlon? Or secretly keen to give triathlon a go? We have the perfect one for you – the Kurnell Sprint. Swim in Botany Bay, ride through the Kamay National Park and run an amazing piece of Sydney parkland. 

 

Our 10-week training program is aimed at supporting the beginner/novice triathlete set a goal of participating in Sydney’s must-do triathlon – the Kurnell Sprint on Sunday 24 November 2019. We offer a supportive environment, where members feel encouraged, motivated and very much part of our BEXI (Beauty of Exercise) family.

We train together as a team, as this offers a great sense of camaraderie between fellow triathlete buddies.  Most of our training sessions are coached sessions, however there are a few sessions that will need to be completed on your own (or with your buddies).

Training starts on Sat 21 Sept 2019 and is limited to 12 x members. 

* Program subject to change

Can I really do a Sprint Triathlon?

We are committed to supporting and encouraging all members who are keen to participate in our programs. As a guideline, we have set some prerequisites to support your journey.

Do I need to be a good Swimmer?

Most beginner triathletes are not particularly good swimmers.  If you can swim between 400m continuously in the ocean pool, then you have the foundation for progressing to open water swimming. Our BEXI Swim Coach will introduce you to open-water swim skills, including breathing techniques, form and endurance building.  The biggest surprise for beginner triathletes is that they learn to love swimming. On the Northern Beaches, we have access to the best beaches for open water swimming.

What Gear do I need?

You don’t need to spend a bunch of money on triathlon-specific gear to do a triathlon. The most important thing about the gear you use for a triathlon is comfort. The biggest investment is your bicycle. Most beginner triathletes use a hybrid or mountain bike for their first triathlon. You can then progress to an entry-level road bike – after which your love-affair for a fancy-pants road bike will begin. We’ve compiled a beginners-list of the gear you need for each discipline.

What is included?
  • 10-week online training program
  • 40 x coached training sessions
  • 1 x race simulation session
  • Mental skills and strategies
  • Race nutrition and recovery
  • Race tactics and guidance
  • Analysis and feedback on training data
  • Race day logistics
  • Motivational support
  • Access to private online forum
  • Membership of a supportive, like-minded Community

/in , /by

If you’ve ever wanted to take part in a triathlon, but have always been intimidated – we have the perfect program for you. Our TRI-a-Triathlon is a 10-week program aimed at supporting the beginner/novice triathlete from an individual sport to the three disciplines. 

We target the Port Stephens Triathlon as our event as it offers a fun weekend of distances for all abilities. There’s the Sprint and Super-Sprint for beginners; and the Standard distance for the more experienced triathlete.

Port Stephens offers an amazing setting and is a great get-away for the entire family!  The swim takes place on the idyllic One Mile Beach, the bike consists of undulating laps in the local area and the run offers a supportive atmosphere with lots of cheering from the locals and supporters.

About the Program

Our TRI-a-Triathlon program is built on the foundation of having FUN! We create a supportive environment, where members feel encouraged, motivated, accountable and importantly, part of our BEXI family.

Can I really do a Triathlon?

Below are some guidelines to help you decide your suitability:

“Ironman 70.3 Sunny Coast was a challenging race. I looked at the ocean that morning and the big challenge ahead and felt excitement.  I wasn’t the same hesitant woman as last year.  I swam through a rough ocean, rode a bike through the rain and ran for a long time.  When not long ago, that was all a dream for me.  I still smile when I think of that day.  It has changed my perspective on myself, my capabilities and life.”
Sandra Gallo (Ironman 70.3 Sunshine Coast 2018)

If you’ve been tempted to step up the distance from short to middle, to a mixed-distance – then we’ve got two great programs to support two awesome events!  

Triathlon is a beautiful sport. It is such an equaliser. Where one person is strong in one discipline, they are challenged in another. Conversely, where another person is strong in a different discipline, they are challenged in another. That’s the beauty of triathlon. It’s a winner for everyone!

Which is why we are SO excited about launching our latest training programs for two awesome upcoming triathlon events:
