The
Event
The
Gatorade BIG HALF Triathlon is the perfect
triathlon challenge set in the fantastic grounds of Trentham Gardens.
The shallow lake swim has been vastly improved and the event is
an ideal pre event to the UK Ironman Triathlon. If the longer
distance BIG HALF Triathlon is not for you then there are four
other events on the same day, the Trentham Classic, Sprint and
Fun triathlons that are run over basically the same course. All
events are flat and fast, yet testing enough for any first time
or experienced triathlete. The venue for all the events and the
relay triathlon is the idyllic country setting of Trentham Gardens
in Staffordshire, which is only a 5 minute drive from junction
15 of the M6. The BIG HALF Triathlon will be one of the most prestigious
events in Great Britain in 2008 and is a must do for any triathlete!
The
Course
The event starts with the swim in Trentham lake within the gardens
and promises to be reasonably warm due to the depth of only approximately
1.5 metres. The cycle course is around the Staffordshire countryside
which is relatively flat for a fast time and finally the flat
run course on tarmac and gravel track takes in the scenic views
of the park and the lake.
