PLANNING on getting into shape in 2014? Why not start training and participating in the X-DIRT Triathlon Challenge – an exciting and unique triathlon competition that started in December last year and continues at the beginning of February.
Comprising three disciplines – swimming, cycling and running – with the unique aspect that competitors can choose to do their cycle discipline either on the road or off-road, it is an ideal way to get fit and tone up after over-indulging during the festive season.
As each race consists of a 600m swim, 20km cycle or 16km mountain bike stage and 5km run leg races offer the professional triathlete and the weekend warrior a challenge, but also one that is achievable for first-time multi-sport enthusiasts – especially if they start training now.
The first race of the New Year takes place at Herron Banks, Vanderbijlpark on Sunday February 2, with the action then moving to Roodeplaat Dam just outside Pretoria, on Sunday March 2, and the final event of the Challenge takes place at Buffelspoort Dam on Sunday March 30.
