Race Route for the Mid-Distance Triathlon on Friday 29th April.

The Mid-Distance Club Championship Triathlon will take place from Oundle pool on Friday 29th April.

Distances are: swim 900 yards, bike 20 miles and run 5 miles.

The swim is 900 yards i.e., 18 lengths of the pool. You will need to count your own lengths. (If you have 8 pictures in your mind, one for each 100yards, you will see the first picture twice and then get out).

The bike course heads east along Milton Road. Turn left at the x-roads along Glapthorn Road. Straight on at the George pub, and head out of Oundle to Glapthorn. Ignore the first left at Glapthorn, and carry on to the x-roads where you turn left to Upper Benefield, where you turn left at the T-junction and head back into Oundle. Turn left into Milton Road, and left again into the pool area.

The run goes out the same way to Glapthorn x-roads, but this time you turn right to Cottestock x-roads, where you turn right to take you back into Oundle. At the George T-junction turn left and return by the same route as you came out i.e., turn right into Milton Road and right again into the pool area, to finish at the top of the private road by the gate.

We have the pool from 9:00 to 10:00 so will probably start around 9:15am. If you arrive around 8:30am this will give time to set your bike up in transition, and to register before the Race Briefing.
