All you need is a bike (any will do), a helmet, trainers, swim kit and be able to swim 100m.  If you are aged 8 to 15 and thinking of doing a triathlon, Tri it now! I have attached some publicity information on the Taster Triathlon.

The swim – 200 or 400mYou will begin the event with the swim, 8 or 16 lengths of the-25m indoor heated swimming pool (any stroke is fine) and then you make your way to the transition area and prepare for the bike ride.

The Bike – 10k or 20k 
You will cycle through the heart of Derby, completing either one or two laps of the relatively flat out and back course.

The Run – 2.5k or 5k
Once you have completed the bike you will start your run, all off road over nearby fields, most of which will be visible for the spectators from the stand, before you enter the stadium to complete your final lap of the track before making your big finish in front of the stand.
