With the grips of winter firmly around us, icy mornings, drizzly evenings, and the lifting of covid restrictions still a week away, it's easy to feel disengaged from what will this year be, an exciting season of triathlon racing and activity across Wales. Yes, it’s mid-January now, but soon enough the days will be getting longer, the sunlight will brighten our days, and the Duathlon season will be upon us. In fact, the first permitted event in the Welsh calendar this year is on March 6th, so that’s only 7 weekends away!!
What are you waiting for? It's time to shake off the winter blues, get your trainers on, grab a friend and hit the roads in preparation for the season ahead. To help you on your way, Welsh Triathlon are sharing two beginner training plans put together by the coaches in the Welsh Triathlon Performance Team. You can click on a free 6-week duathlon preparation plan or set your sights further afield and get ready for the open water sprint Tri season which will open in May.

Times have been tough for everyone lately, but for our event organisers, there’s a collective hope that the 2022 season will blow away the disappointment of 2020 and 2021. Unfortunately for our event organisers, it’s not as easy as entering an event at the last minute. Our organiser network will tell you that each event that’s delivered takes months and months of planning, from community engagement to volunteer recruitment; from sponsorship recruitment to risk assessing and safety advisory group meetings. It’s a long process to make these events happen, and in order to make them viable, we need the support of the triathlon community by signing up now.
Let’s back the organiser network and support their events early. You can explore which events are currently open by clicking on the link below which will take you to the permitted events page across Wales.
