Bike laps :- Counting your laps is not feasible for us with so many and often on different laps, you will have to count them yourself. The best method is to use a bike speedo, 3 laps of 7.7k (4.78 miles). So when you are beyond 16k (10 miles) you are on your last lap.

New to multi-sport racing? You are very welcome, duathlon and triathlon is a very friendly and inclusive sport. You certainly don’t need to be an ultra fit athlete to to get a great deal out of it. You do need to be fit enough to get around the course naturally, but of more importance is the wish to challenge yourself and be prepared for the rather nice feeling of satisfaction and achievement when you cross the finish line. For us the last person over the finish line is equally as important as the first.
