Whyalla STEELMAN next Saturday 4 April - 1.9k Swim, 90k Bike & 21.1k Run.
Course marked, bike support available, run course hydration fairies booked in and it's absolutely free. No $650 entry fee. No need to travel across the country to race. No pressure. No time limits (except for those you put on yourself) just the way it should be. Just the way the original long distance triathlons started.
Come along and crush the whole thing on your own or just one leg or find a couple of mates to help or race against. We will be starting in front of the Foreshore Fig Tree on beach road. Swimmers will be in the water at 7.00am. Cyclists leaving from around 7.45am and Runners from 10.45am (Depending on conditions etc).
Note the 7am start will be in shallow water so we'll need to wade out a little. The tide is coming in until 9am so it will only get deeper as the swim progresses. The ride course will be one loop 45k out along the Iron K**b road and back. The run course is to be determined but at this stage we might be taking a sneaky peak at the possible 2026 Whyalla Running Festival updated 2-lap course....which includes the Wetlands, Whyalla Foreshore and Jetty.
Weather looks good. Perhaps a little head breeze on the return leg of the bike but nice and cool for the run.
If you're interested and would like to register send me a message so we know to look out for you - Troy 0456 385 112
