Lochore Meadows training day

posted: 19 May 2012
Lochore Meadows training day The Lochore training day this year is on Sunday 27th May. Meet at 9am in the Lochore Meadows car park.  We will be swimming in the loch, cycling the course, and running. This is great preparation for those doing the race in June and a nice day out otherwise!

Similarly to the previous few years we will be running a training day at Lochore meadows in preparation for the Scottish sprint champs which will be held there on the 17th June.

The training day will be on Sunday 27th May at 9am. Meet in the car park at Lochore Meadows park.

Plan for the day;

  • O/W swim: A good chance for those never having done open water to get in to the water in a safe environment with coaches on hand.  For those used to open water then it's a good chance to practice your open water skills, deep water starts, sighting, pack swimming, exit and entry of water and getting your wetsuit off.
  • Bike:  For those who haven't done the race before there will be a group ride round the course so you can familiarise yourself with the route.  For those who know the course and would like a slightly harder session, then you can ride the route in small group's chain ganging your way around the route in an APR style fashion.
  • Run:  Once back from the bike there will be the option to race round the run route or just jog round to give you an idea of the route.


There may also be a chance to practice transition skills depending on who are all interested and how much time there is available.

If you would like to come along to the session please email Martin Gore at mpgore [at] hotmail [dot] com so we know how many will be attending and can plan accordingly.
