Time Trials

The club organises a series of time trials throughout the season, typically between April and July. They are intended as a supplement to regular training, with the aim of helping measure your progress during the season, and giving you some race practice. The club has organised time trials since 1995, and since 2000 a standard format has been followed, involving a total of 12 time trials across the three disciplines.

To view the results for this year's time trials please click here.

The time trials for 2008 will follow the same format as the last few years.  There are twelve altogether, four at each discipline, with two at the Olympic distance and two at the sprint distance.  The order follows two identical time trials and the dates are as follows:

Please ensure that you are ready to start on time.  Each time trial costs £1, unless you pay by Standing Order, in which case it's free.  You will need to wear a wetsuit for the two open water swims in Fishguard Harbour.  We have managed to fit both of these swims in before the Pembrokeshire Triathlon on 1st July, so it will be a great chance to practice the open water swim and get some much needed confidence in the water.  We will have canoe saftey cover for these two swims.

A guide to the time trial courses can be viewed by clicking on the link (pdf format).  It includes the current course records.  The top ten times ever can be viewed by clicking here, they are updated annually after the last of the season's time trials and include times for 2007.

As always, if you are able to help out with timekeeping for any of the bike time trials, or either of the two open water swims, we would like to hear from you.
